Recent data from the DVLA has shown Warwick district has the second worst Electric vehicle charging infrastructure of any Warwickshire location.

Experts from Swansway Motor Group reviewed this data by area and discovered that Warwick's 75 chargers per 100,000 people ranks second lowest for electric chargers per 100,000 population within the county, significantly lower than the national figure of 91.

Stratford-upon-Aven has the best charging infrastructure in Warwickshire with 124 chargers per 100,000 people.

The figure for the Warwickshire county as a whole is 80 chargers per 100,000 people - pulled down by Nuneaton and Bedworth.

Further reviewing the data, Swansway discovered that the figure for Warwickshire County is a quarter of the 365 chargers per 100,000 in Inner London.

In light of these figures, motoring experts at Swansway Motor Group are advising electric vehicle drivers in Warwick to maximise their EV range by using regenerative braking, removing unnecessary luggage from their vehicle, and avoiding using their air conditioning when driving around the region.

Additionally, Swansway is encouraging drivers to charge at home whenever possible as this is both cheaper and more efficient than using public chargers.

A spokesperson for Swansway said: "These recent statistics reflect how EV infrastructure must develop as we transition into more sustainable transport.
