New app to promote uptake of EVs

A new Electric Vehicles Voice app has launched on Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant to promote the uptake of EVs.

The app is part of Government and industry’s Go Ultra Low campaign to help motorists understand the benefits of buying electric vehicles.

The new app provides the answers to over 50 commonly asked questions about electric vehicles including charging, range, advantages, costs and environmental benefits.

Go Ultra Low ambassador, broadcaster, writer and adventurer Ben Fogle has voiced the app, which has answered over 1,600 questions since its launch last month.

As only 26% of people who consider an electric vehicle currently go on to purchase one, this sparked inspiration to create an APP to change people’s mindsets, positioning them as desirable and redefining the technology as normal and every-day.
