It’s been a common phrase in the electric vehicle world since as long as I’ve known about EVs — butts in seats. That’s the magic formula for selling electric vehicles and increasing adoption. If you can get someone to test drive an electric car for the first time, it’s almost … [continued]
Jumping on the low maintenance and service costs of electric vehicles, its own low-cost offerings, and the opportunity to do things differently, MG is offering special EV (electric vehicle) service plans in the UK at a cost of just £6/month.

Leasing Options, a leasing service that has been serving the UK for over 30 years, has shared its findings on the fastest and cheapest electric vehicles (EVs) in the UK.
A recent news release indicated that 66.6% of MG vehicles being imported at the Portbury Docks in Bristol, England, have been electric vehicles or plugin vehicles lately.
The British brand MG Motor, which is now owned by a Chinese company, is having a bit of a revival in the region thanks to its quite competitive and affordable MG ZS EV. And MG knows it. It has a humorous way of making some fun out of it, too.
Don’t believe commonly repeated anti-hype, nor the praised but far too timid aspirations of companies like Lyft. Over a year ago, I wrote an article predicting the transition happening around 2025.

The production facility was used for a few years, but ultimately all production was relocated to China.
The United Kingdom (not so united these days, but that’s another story) is becoming a hot electric vehicle market, but it gets very little attention in the EV world. I’m going to postulate that’s because people drive on the wrong side of the road there. (Just sayin’.)
We’ve published numerous analyses of our own on the total cost of ownership of the Tesla Model 3 and Volkswagen ID.3 compared to top gasoline competitors. However, if you don’t trust research from CleanTechnica, perhaps you’ll find the work of a major international financial firm more palatable.
