Introducing EV Essentials
Supporting the changing landscape of transport
EV Essentials was born from a passion for the humble, yet hard-working van — mixed with a fervour to see a cleaner, more sustainable mode of transport, and to preserve this extraordinary world we all live in.
The automotive industry has a steep climb ahead to overcome the oil-fuel inheritance we've been handed, and a challenge like this is not for the faint-hearted. This is where Paul Kirby decided to step up — stepping out of the comfort of corporate life to help and signpost others, getting them confidently started on their electric journey, with support and education for all.

Additionally, Paul is a founder member of The EV Café team and regularly presents on its highly interactive webinars focused on education and all things EV and sustainable. He is also the primary host of the EV Café Takeaway, a podcast giving a platform to the innovators and personalities of our industry to share their passion, knowledge and expertise.
