• It's great to see how were able to help the customer navigate the considerations of transitioning to an electric vehicle (EV) based on their specific lifestyle and needs. Here's a case study from one customer:

  "I recently was at an event speaking to a customer who was looking at getting an EV and wondering if it would work for himself and his wife. He was retired and his wife worked twice a week. They lived in a terraced house, couldn’t have a home charger and were a one car family. I asked if I could understand his journey better, he dropped his wife at work twice per week (30 mile round trip) and typically every month they’d travel to see their Grandchildren on one of the weekends (120 mile round trip). He usually did their grocery shopping at the Tesco’s down the road. He was looking at getting an EV that had a ~270 mile range (real world driving).

  Through understanding that he typically shopped at the Tesco Extra twice per week and by using the Octopus Electroverse, he could charge his car when he needed to there using 22kWh/ 50kWh charging units in place. When he travelled to see his Grandchildren, if he was fully topped up he could make it there and back easily but ofcourse they could top up on their way back if they needed to. We used the Electroverse to find units on the way back demonstrating there were various options available. Further to this around the corner from where his daughter lived there was a home charging unit on Co-Charger, meaning he could charge whilst he was there if he wanted to and it would cost less than public charging. All in all what we ascertained with him in this conversation (using the tools mentioned above) is that he could live with an EV fairly easily."

  This example highlights the importance of personalized discussions and tools to address specific concerns and requirements when considering an electric vehicle. It also showcases the role of infrastructure data tools like Octopus Electroverse and Co-Charger in helping users find suitable charging options based on their travel patterns.

  EV might not work for everyone BUT there are some very effective solutions available to customers these days that they should be aware of.
