In this Mid-Season Round Table, we dive deep into the biggest hurdles facing EV drivers today. Joining me are Jade Edwards from Zapmap and Victoria Hutton, an EV marketer, to tackle three massive topics: ⚡ The Metric Shift: Why counting \"devices\" is outdated and how Zapmap & the DfT are changing the way we measure charging hubs. 📱 The App War: Is the proliferation of CPO apps helping or hurting the user experience? We debate whether we need a \"single app\" solution. 💰 The EV Tax (eVED): A frank discussion on the upcoming 3p-a-mile tax, the messaging behind it, and what it means for the future of EV adoption.  #EV #ElectricVehicles #ChargingInfrastructure #Zapmap #UKPolitics #EVTax Support me:Patreon Link: http://www.patreon.com/evmusings Ko-fi Link: http://www.ko-fi.com/evmusings The Books: 'So, you've gone electric?' on Amazon : https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07Q5JVF1X 'So, you've gone renewable?’ on Amazon : https://amzn.to/3LXvIck Social Media: EVMusings: Twitter https://twitter.com/MusingsEv Instagram: @EVmusings Octopus Energy referral code (Click this link to get started) https://share.octopus.energy/neat-star-460 Upgrade to smarter EV driving with a free week's trial of Zapmap Premium, find out more here https://evmusings.com/zapmap-premium"},"annotations":[{"startTime":0.0,"endTime":6.96,"type":"company","title":"GridServe","url":"/glossary/gridserve","quote":"I remember Sam Clark from GridServe raised it at one point when we often share stats on","canonicalId":"company:gridserve","priority":0.5,"confidence":0.85,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-5.4-nano","data":{"explanation":"GridServe is a UK-based company known for building and operating EV charging networks.
