Our Focus

  • Lead the market in Electric Servicing as the UK shifts towards more sustainable mobility options, specifically Electric Vehicles (“EVs”), E-Bikes and E-Scooters.
  • Providing industry-leading training to our colleagues and invest in equipment to better support customers as they make the switch to electric.
  • Broadening our range of E-mobility services and products, e.g. E-bikes/E-scooters, making the transition to electric travel easier.
  • Investing in education and community engagement programmes to help and support consumers to make climate-smart choices.
  • Raise Government awareness on the investment required to accelerate the transition to electric vehicles and other electric transport options.

Priorities for the Next 12 Months:

  • We are well-positioned to support UK customers with the switch to electric forms of transport and our progress here will be shaped by the pace of change in the UK vehicle market.
  • The UK Government’s decision in September 2023 to postpone the ban on new petrol and diesel cars and vans by five years could slow down the adoption of electric vehicles, and growth has slowed this year.
  • Halfords strategy for Electrification is to lead the market in EV Servicing, but the speed at which it rolls-out EV servicing capability across the business will be proportionate to the pace of change in the UK vehicle market.
