    Electric Cars - Are They The Future?

    Ever wondered what it's really like to drive an electric car?
    Not just the shiny advertisements and ideal scenarios, but the actual day-to-day experience?
    Welcome back to Tool Box Talk for Electricians, with me, Ben Poulter. Today, I’m diving into the true story of my first time driving a fully electric car.
    Join me as I share my adventure from a quick trip to Germany, where I hired a bog-standard Renault Twingo from a major rental company.
    What seemed like a straightforward journey turned into an eye-opening exploration of the electric car world. Are they really the future of automobiles? Should electricians jump on the EV charger installation bandwagon?
    These are the questions we'll tackle.
    From the struggle of finding the right charger to the unexpected costs, I’ll walk you through the good, the bad, and the unexpected realities of electric car ownership.
    Discover if this new technology is truly a game-changer or just a fleeting trend.
    And for my fellow electricians, let's discuss whether becoming an EV charger installer is a lucrative move or a potential pitfall.
    In this episode, I'll break down the pros and cons of electric vehicles, drawing from my own experiences and conversations with locals in Germany.
    We’ll cover the practicalities of driving and charging, the environmental benefits, and the current infrastructure challenges.
    Plus, I’ll share my insights on the viability of adding EV charger installation to your skillset.
