Maddie Goes Electric, Episode 2: Charging an electric car at home & locally (A beginner's guide)

Fully Charged is very pleased to present the second episode of “Maddie Goes Electric” - a beginner’s guide to driving an electric vehicle.

In this episode Maddie's first electric car arrives! She explains a little more about how she chose this one and takes it out for a spin to get used to the features (like 'Regenerative Braking').

Maddie puts some questions to some experts from the world of electric vehicles:
How do I charge my electric car?!
What's the best way to charge at home?
And when away from home, at destination chargers?
What do the different electric car charge connectors do?

N.B. A "Ploughman's" is a typical pub lunch in the UK, in case you were wondering!
