The government strategy is to promote and encourage private buyers and fleets to opt for electric vehicles (EVs) as soon as they can, and by investing £1.3 billion to strengthen the UK’s charging infrastructure to extend the plug-in car grant.

According to SMMT, more than 100 plug-in car models are now available, and manufacturers are scheduled to bring more than 35 to market in 2021, more than the number of either petrol or diesel new models planned for the year.

There are between 13,000 and 20,000 technicians currently working on around 380,000 plug-in cars and vans.

ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING CABLES We all know by now that from 2030 electric vehicles will be a part of our lives. But the demand for electric and hybrid vehicles is already starting to show with sales increasing significantly in 2020 despite the challenges from the pandemic. The frequency of vehicle charging points is also greater which creates an increase in demand for charging cables. Vehicle owners may want an extra cable for their car or their existing one might get lost or stolen.

GARAGE SERVICES - HYBRID & ELECTRIC The growing popularity of electric and hybrid cars; signifies an urgent need for workshops and technicians to undergo specific training before carrying out maintenance, servicing or repair work. There are many risks associated with the high voltage electrical systems. Cars like a Tesla Model S, are crammed with high-voltage components, including the 400-volt battery, as well as drive units, high-voltage cabling, charging points and converter units.

FIVE ESSENTIAL CHECKS ON EXHAUST SYSTEMS:

1. Assess the level of corrosion on components and avoid a costly breakdown 2. Check for failed parts to prevent an MOT failure

3. Always check exhaust mounts 4. Know how to handle DPF issues 5. Check Adblue to prevent future issues and add value.
