Our speaker on 6 February is Steve McDonald who is one of the founders of the Dorking Solar Group which is a local community energy company. This not for profit organisation promotes and facilitates using energy from renewable sources. Steve will be talking specifically about the growth in the use of all electric cars, and how this has has led the Solar Group to their latest project.The rapid predicted growth of electric vehicles, given that there is a real lack of publicly accessible charging points in the area, prompted them to start an initiative to become a charging point installer. This talk will be of interest to anyone who is interested in the issues around the growth in electric vehicles, the practicalities of using an electric car, and the changes we will need to make in how we generate and use energy.
