Electric vehicle owners and hirers across Oxfordshire will be able to take advantage of a range of offers this World EV Day.
World EV Day, which takes place on 9 September, is an annual event aiming to highlight the progress in e-mobility and promote the shift to electrified transport.
This year, to celebrate World EV Day, the electric vehicle charging point companies will be offering deals – including free charging – for drivers across Oxfordshire. There’s also the chance to join the county-wide EV car club scheme, with significant deals during World EV Day saving you money on membership and hire fees.
Since last year’s World EV Day, global electric vehicles sales have increased 39% and in July 2023, (48%) of newly registered vehicles in Oxfordshire were purely electric.
Drivers can find their local charging point on ZapMap.
EZ Charge, which operates 250 charging points at 20 park and charge sites across Oxfordshire, will be offering app members the first hour of charging for free. After the initial hour, usual rates will apply: 47p/kWh during the day and 42p/kWh overnight.
