The Electric Car Scheme

🚀🚀 300% growth in used electric car demand drives further investment for The Electric Car Scheme! 🚀🚀 Following 160% year on year growth, we have received new investment to accelerate growth to meet increased demand for both new and used EVs. While cost remains the main barrier to adoption for 68% of Brits, used EVs now account for nearly half of our sales. 🚘⚡️ The Electric Car Scheme already works with more than 1,000 companies. It is estimated that the company has reduced as many harmful emissions as one would planting more than 620,000 trees. 🌳 Co-Founder & CEO, Thom Groot says: “This new round of investment is a huge vote of confidence not only in The Electric Car Scheme but the company’s impact in supporting the wider transition to Net Zero emissions. We are incredibly excited to work with our brilliant team, and forward-thinking investors to deliver on our mission to make Net Zero simpler and cheaper to become the obvious choice.” You can read more about the investment round here: https://lnkd.in/e6ZKrF5Q 13books Capital leads the latest funding round and includes participation from Triple Point, Seedcamp, Adjuvo, Ascension and Bayern Kapital.
