We wanted to show people just how straightforward electric motoring is - no matter how far you want to go. The technology and charging network has come on leaps and bounds. But, there’s one thing talking about it and another thing showing people.” Bowker Motor Group marketing manager Amy Lancaster added: “We’ll be using a network of super fast charging points on our journey. It’s a long way but it will be fun and we’re confident we’ll make it. We hope our customers and motorists throughout the county will enjoy following our challenge on social media.” John and Amy will be sharing updates, videos and pictures and answering questions throughout the challenge on the Bowker BMW social media channels including Facebook and Twitter.
