UK Schools & EV charging: why 2024 is the year to make the jump
UK school administrations are starting to grapple with the coming transition from petrol to EV. Staff are making the switch to EV; neighbourhoods in which schools reside are lacking publicly accessible EV charging infrastructure; and schools are busy teaching students about the effects of climate change, while looking for ways to lead by example. With the help of the UK government’s new grant, now you can install EV chargers super affordably.
