Monmouthshire’s Abergavenny takes centrestage in official campaign

Published on

A motoring personality has joined forces with transport officials to unveil a fresh nationwide initiative.

The Electric Road Trip features a visit to Abergavenny and demonstrates the extensive array of sites where electric car owners can replenish their vehicles.

The programme showcases Britain’s expanding public charging infrastructure while urging motorists to consider the capabilities of electric vehicles.

It builds on the Get That Electric Feeling campaign introduced in January and seeks to inform the public before the 2030 deadline for ending sales of new petrol and diesel vehicles.

Jodie Kidd, who planned the route, expressed her enthusiasm for journeys by car and noted that electric vehicles have made them even more enjoyable.

Charging points can be found in stunning and surprising locations – you pause, appreciate the scenery and resume your travels.

Once drivers understand the extent of Britain’s charging infrastructure, electric road trips prove straightforward and convenient – the entire nation becomes accessible for electric exploration.

Research indicates numerous motorists remain unaware of the size of Britain’s charging network, which now includes more than 118,000 public charging points – almost twice the number of petrol stations.

Keir Mather, the minister responsible for decarbonisation, stated that the industry had requested government support for the electric vehicle transition and that is precisely what they are delivering.

He pointed to last year’s government pledge of £600 million to fund the installation of hundreds of thousands of additional charging points throughout Britain, alongside an Electric Car Grant reducing purchase costs by up to £3,750.

Custom-wrapped charging units have been installed at Osprey’s facilities in Land’s End and Abergavenny.

Osprey commented that demonstrating how straightforward and pleasant charging experiences can be across Britain was something they took pride in.
