As part of BVRLA’s Used EV Week last week, James Court, Public Policy Director at Octopus Electric Vehicles, explores how the used electric car market is fast becoming the real catalyst for mass EV adoption in a new BVRLA blog.

Court highlights how today’s second-hand EVs are far from “old tech.” They’re cheaper to run, easier to maintain, and continually upgraded through over-the-air updates - making them smarter, more reliable, and more sustainable choices for drivers. The result? A genuine affordability breakthrough that’s helping households join a cleaner, more connected energy future.
