EV information
Guides from people who drive them
We don’t borrow an EV for a press weekend. We live with these cars, every day, which is where all of this comes from.
Drive Green Awards
We are proud to showcase the array of prestigious awards that adorn our mantle, each one symbolising another milestone in our journey for a greener future.

Can Green Measures Save Your Business Money?
Whilst there are definitely green steps that will cost a business more, on reflection, most of the things we have done at Drive Green, and the measures we have in place are actually saving us money.
The Carbon Literacy Project
At Drive Green we have be advocates of the Carbon Literacy Project for a number of years now – huge fans of the work this charity is doing in order to help build awareness of climate change, and to encourage individual actions to help reduce our carbon impact.
The Drive Green Solar Edge Car Port
We are thrilled to be the UK test site for the Solar Edge combined inverter and charge point. The uniqueness of our site combining the UK’s largest EV dealership with our not for profit green technology advice has made our site the perfect location to trial this brand new device.
De-Carbonizing Motor Trade Deliveries – A Drive Green Study
At Drive Green we are always trying to do everything we can to reduce our carbon impact, as well as trying to set green examples for the rest of the motor trade to follow. As a result to we have tried to reduce the number of vehicles delivered by diesel car transporters. and over the last 6 months, we have undertaken a study to try and see if there is another practical way of managing our deliveries, without the need of diesel fuel, and to see what the operational and financial implications of using alternative delivery methods are, as well as the carbon savings achieved. The results in just the first 6 months of this project have been surprisingly successful in terms of both carbon and cost savings, hopefully proving to the rest of the motor trade that it is possible to greatly reduce the carbon impact of your car deliveries.
Carbon Literacy Case Study Of Our Recent Sustainability Efforts and Measures
We were first introduced to the Carbon Literacy project in 2021, as a part of a focus group with Autotrader when they were helping to put together the Automotive toolkit, who valued our input due to our existing work towards sustainability.
