The Electric Vehicle Experience Centre
We are the UK’s first brand neutral centre dedicated to electric vehicles and our aim is to provide completely free education and advice about electric and plug-in vehicles. Based in centre:mk at the heart of Milton Keynes, we also offer visitors the chance to test drive a range of different electric and plug-in cars on the market.
We are here to help you every step of the way, from learning about the different electric cars currently available on the market to information about charging your car and the infrastructure. Our team of EV Gurus know all there is to know about switching to electric and are in-store and online to answer all your questions.

Be part of the future
Our aim is for 23% of vehicle registrations in Milton Keynes to be electric as part of MK’s Go Ultra Low city status, as well as to promote electric vehicles to people across the country. The UK is rapidly improving its uptake of electric vehicles and we aim to support this.
Help the environment
Air pollution is at an all time high and it is only going to get worse for future generations unless we work together to prevent it. Driving electric or plug-in is the first step in helping our environment repair and grow.
Save some pennies
With no tax costs, government grants and other money-off incentives, owning an electric vehicle can save you a significant amount of money, well worth the switch.
