I set up MyUrbanCar to provide advice about switching from fuel burning to clean electric power especially in transport especially electric vehicles. I also use an air source heat pump which has also cut out fuel burning at home.

I spend a lot of time researching and absorbing information from a wide range of respected sources on issues like climate change, air pollution, battery technology and developments in electric vehicles from road to rail air and water.

MyUrbanCar now provides regularly updated guides on electric cars and UK EV charging so that more people can make good choices at the right price while avoiding a few lemons.

I have also had plenty of hands on myth busting experience. I have owned 5 EV's and tested them on many gruelling long distance EV road trips of up to 700 miles per day in the UK and Europe. These are often combined with my passion for hikes and exploring landscapes around the UK. At home I have had an air source heat pump since 2021.

I have worked as an underwriter at Lloyd's of London since the 1980's. My interest in technology goes back many years including interactive mapping, apps, green tech, boats, solar and cars.
