Drawing from recent developments in my personal life has been really interesting for me so let’s get into what’s happened this week.

Moving in with my flatmate Julie (not her real name) has been great so far and recently we encountered an amusing dilemma: our flat comes with a parking spot, but neither of us owns a car. We only have one fob that allows us access to the basement and yesterday, we both had guests that needed to park at different times but she left with the fob!! So I’m calling her and I’m kinda agitated because my guest couldn’t park outside!!
The Unexpected Parking Dilemma: A Lesson in Sustainability
Fortunately, our caretaker was easily accessible and was kind enough to help me out (thank goodness)! Ironically, this has led us to think more about sustainability and the future of transportation. Julie Is considering getting a new job where she will need to be more mobile and she is thinking of getting an electric car.
Just her luck; she knows me, and I know a fantastic portable solar generator retailer (Undertwok). This aligns perfectly with the values driving GB Energy’s new electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure expansion, making sustainable living more attainable for everyone.
Considering Electric Vehicles: Julie’s Next Big Step
GB Energy is actively helping the UK transition to electric vehicles by expanding its EV charging network across the country. Their efforts tie into the broader goal of banning petrol and diesel vehicles by 2030 (BBC News, 2021). However, the conversation doesn’t stop with EVs. So obviously I told Julie about renewable energy options, like a portable solar generator, which can provide clean electricity for small household needs. It’s a sustainable solution that cuts our reliance on traditional power sources and could eventually supplement the energy we use for charging an EV, should we ever decide to get one.
The Future of Sustainable Living: Solar Power and EV Charging
Portable solar generators are becoming a more practical and eco-friendly solution for many households. These devices convert sunlight into electricity, offering an off-grid power source that doesn’t produce emissions. By adopting solar power now, even on a small scale, we’re taking steps towards reducing our carbon footprint—an ethos that aligns with GB Energy’s vision of clean energy and sustainable transport. The combination of solar energy and electric vehicles could be a game changer in reducing emissions, both at home and on the road.
The nationwide EV charging expansion is making sustainable transportation more feasible, even for people like us who are still thinking about future car ownership. As we continue to explore solar energy, we see it as a companion to GB Energy’s charging network. Not only could solar generators help us reduce electricity bills, but they could also help power a future EV with clean, renewable energy. Solar power provides the dual benefit of reducing our reliance on the grid while also contributing to a greener planet.
Through its initiative, GB Energy is ensuring that sustainable energy solutions, like electric vehicles, are within reach for more people. Whether it’s using a portable solar generator like the Jackery to power our fridge or heater, or eventually charging an EV, every step we take helps create a cleaner future. Honestly, both Julie and I have come a long way in our energy consciousness and I love it!
