What's on at Braintree Electric Forecourt®
What's on at Norwich Electric Forecourt®

Test drives aren’t just the most important part of the research process, they’re also the most fun.


Our multi-brand experience (with a complete absence of pushy sales people) means you’ll be able to enjoy test drives like never before.


We want to help you find the right car for you, so we’ll let you compare brands with back-to-back test drives and we’ll even be your co-driver if you’re feeling nervous.

On EV Experience Days, you’ll be our V-VIPs, with our EV Gurus on hand to answer any questions you may have, whether that’s helping you choose the best electric family car, or learning the ropes on charging.


It’s all well and good having a swanky space with fancy solar panels, but it’s our EV Gurus that make the GRIDSERVE difference.

Electric mobility

We’re not just passionate about electric cars, but the electrification of transport at every level.


Switching from fossil fuel-powered cars to e-bikes and electric scooters, for example, can be a great way to reduce congestion and improve air quality in urban centres.


Thanks to some great partners at Norwich Electric Forecourt®, you’ll be able to discover the benefits of active travel for yourself.

In addition to our usual food offerings from Costa and M&S Food, our EV Experience Day at Braintree Electric Forecourt® will also host some delicious street food stalls.


The fresh sourdough pizza truck always goes down a treat, or maybe sample something from Mac Street Kitchen or Yum Yum Tree Fudge.

FAQs

Icon

Will this be like visiting a car dealership?

The Electric Forecourt® isn’t just a place to charge electric vehicles en masse or a place to see the latest models.

It’s an alternative working and learning space, a community area and platform for citizen initiatives. There’s also good coffee and calming vibes: natural wood finishes, recycled upholstery, it’s all very hygge.

Anyone can enter and use the facilities; EV Experience Days are no different.

Icon

Will I be sold to?

We don’t like pushy sales people either. Rest assured this is a low pressure environment for you to drink coffee, have an informal chat and experience the latest electric vehicles.

Our team of EV Gurus are not sales people; they’re passionate about electric vehicles, for sure, so are focussed on sharing the capabilities and advantages. It’s easy to demonstrate these benefits in our Forecourt settings and when you have access to the latest models.

Icon

Is this only for people who are serious about electric cars?

Not at all, we’re happy to talk to people who are simply curious about electric cars. Making the switch may not be something that works for you at this moment, and that’s fine, but come and find the truth for yourself.

Our EV Gurus can help with all kinds of questions, queries, facts and figures. There is no silly question and we’ll attempt to answer as honestly and impartially as we can.

Icon

What do I need to bring in order to take a test drive?

You’ll need to have held a full UK driving licence for at least two years and carry no more than six points for traffic offences. The minimum age is 25 years for unaccompanied test drives and 21 years for accompanied.

We use an online automated system called Veriff to match your identity to your driving licence - for full details go to gridserve.com/electric-leasing/test-drives.

If you’re feeling nervous about getting behind the wheel of an electric car, one of our team members can happily take you out on a familiarisation drive.

Icon

What cars are available for test drive?

Our test drive fleet is constantly changing, based on the best-selling electric models and the most searched for models via GRIDSERVE Car Leasing.


Both Braintree and Norwich Electric Forecourts® have a great selection of the very latest electric cars including Tesla, Polestar & Mercedes-Benz. Check out the full range of car available by following the links below.
