As the Senior Sustainability Editor here at Marie Claire UK, I'm all about living sustainably - that is, buying from B Corp brands, renting looks from dress rental sites, and opting for organic food, where possible. It's fair to say that I'm a passionate advocate for electric vehicles, too, and have learnt a thing or two about the environmental benefits they promise over the course of my career.
That said, there's definitely mixed feeling about the current state of the electric charging network in the UK - and that's before I touch on the statistical reticence of many female drivers, specifically when it comes to considering buying or driving an EV. While research from the National Institute of Health proves that women are more likely to shop sustainably, data also suggests that they have reservations when it comes to electric vehicles.
