I tried out the latest electric vehicles in Dudley and was pleasantly surprised
Think you know everything there is to about electric vehicles? I did too...
On a drizzly day in Discovery Way, dozens of electric cars, vans, scooters and e-bikes were getting parked up and ready to be shown off to the public.
It was all part of the BCIMO's 'Electrifying Transport in the Black Country' event held at the Very Light Rails innovation centre in Dudley.
The impressive venue,which is located on the site of the former British Rail station at Dudley, is used to help shape the development of cheaper and more environmentally friendly solutions across the whole of the rail industry.
Inside there were experts from all sectors talking to EV-enthusiasts, businesspeople, and industry leaders about electric transport, chargers, and everything in between.
I was looking forward to this – not only was I going to have the opportunity to whizz around on an electric bike, but I was going to be shown the latest electric vehicles and sustainable energy solutions. Pretty cool, huh?
