CHARGING AROUND!

A piece in the news recently caught my eye about the increasing number of electric vehicle charging points which are springing up around the country....and you may wonder why that has any relevance to Lower Treave!

Well, we have just had the electricity bill for the summer....and we buy all of our electricity from Ecotricity who are using their profits to install their charging points...and they are coming closer and closer to Cornwall.

Following the success of the first John O' Groats to Lands End run by the brilliant Tesla of Kevin Sharpe, Ecotricity founder Vince Dale, who plans to drive from Land's End to John O'Groats in his Nemesis electric sportscar using the points, explained that making it possible to drive between cities for the first time could spark increased demand for electric cars.

"It's often said that one of the reasons more people don't buy electric cars is because of a lack of charging facilities, while the reason more charging facilities aren't built is because not enough people are buying electric cars. Classic chicken and egg stuff," he said in a statement.

We have just returned from a few days in Cadiz....and guess what?...


...they're everywhere! Sorry about the photo...it was taken from a moving bus.
