Do you want to find out more about owning an electric car? If so, this web site will give you the information you need.
My name is Michael Boxwell. I have owned and used electric cars since 2006. Prior to that, I ran a company that promoted and sold battery powered vehicles throughout the UK and Ireland.
As the founder member of one of the largest electric car clubs in the world, I talk to other people who use these cars every day and regularly meet with the car manufacturers who are building these cars.
I also talk with politicians and local government and regularly appear on television and radio.
I have carried out surveys amongst existing owners to understand how they use their cars.
I've carried out environmental tests measuring the eco-performance of battery powered cars compared to internal combustion engine cars. I've written a best selling book on electric car ownership. If you really want to know more about owning one of these vehicles, you've come to the right place.
Electric cars for all..? Or for the few?
Although cars powered by electricity are nothing new, they are still in their infancy.
The big manufacturers are now launching models and it is certain that the future looks bright for battery powered vehicles.
But who are they aimed at? Why should you consider one? What are the advantages of battery power over the internal combustion engine?
On this site you will find a number of electric car information articles that answer those questions.
If you want more detail, you can buy the book Owning an Electric Car.
Electric cars and the environment
Electric cars and the environment: are they good or do they simply move the pollution from the cities to the power stations? As well as researching the impact of moving the power generation from the car to the power station, I have carried out real world tests to see whether battery powered cars are genuinely better for the environment than their internal combustion engine counterparts.
If you are based in the United Kingdom, I've included a real-time National Grid carbon footprint calculator so you can monitor how clean your electricity supply is. So if you already use an battery powered car, you can choose to recharge it when electricity supply is at its cleanest.
Cars that are good to drive
Can electric cars have the fun factor? We know they may be good for the environment, but are they good to drive? Can they be desirable and fun to use? In short, can an electric car be as good to own as an internal combustion engine car? The good news is the answer is an emphatic YES!
