The Bedfordshire Climate Change Forum are holding a free afternoon of presentations, discussion and demonstration on 30th September 2017.

You’ll hear from local Nissan Leaf & Renault Zoe owners Ian Smith & Anthony Woodhouse (Chair of West Solent Solar Co-op). Also a spokesperson from Highways at Bedford Borough Council will have info on current and future charging points locally.

There will be a car plugged in charging up for you to see up close. Questions very welcome!

We’ll try to take a rounded look at the issue of electric cars within a context of sustainability, concern for climate change and air pollution. When will electric cars be mainstream? Where will the energy come from? What about battery capacity? How ‘green’ can this form of transport be? And what about affordability…?
