Trust Local Magazine Editorial

Sales of plug-in electric vehicles will hit 85,000 this year. Hybrid, the electric/petrol

combination, and ‘all electric’ cars are fast becoming a feature on our roads and everyone

must have seen the sleek lines of a Tesla or top selling Nissan Leaf, humming by on their low

costing journey.

All plug-in car owners can obtain a Department of Transport Grant for a vehicle charging

point in their home through an OLEV approved installer. This grant is to be extended from

November 2016 to include the installation of charge-points in the workplace as well.

Company car owners are seen as the main beneficiaries of an electric or hybrid vehicle, with

substantial tax benefits and low running costs; although there are advantages for all.

Locally based LA Electrical have been OLEV approved installers since 2015, with over 100

installations to their name and are backed by leading UK manufacturers. If you’re in the

market for a plug in vehicle, look no further than LA Electrical for your charge-point, with

installation times far quicker than offered at many dealerships.

Many of you would have come across LA Electrical as your local electrical contractor since

1997. During this time a high degree of experience and expertise has been gained, with

electrics in the home or at work remaining their core business.
