In 2012, my world changed forever
I viewed the future through the eyes of my daughter, and started focusing uniquely on transitioning businesses to electric cars.
-
Learn how our business is helping to reduce carbon emissions in the West Midlands.
-
Be inspired by my mission to educate everyone, from small to big businesses, drivers and students.

Consider trying an electric vehicle - you won't want to give it back.

Read MoreLash outlined the very brave decision to totally change his business by attending a "taster" lecture with his daughter. Who would have thought it would have such a profound effect on him? And who would have thought that it could be so hard to get that sustainability message out there? I loved this story and it really made me think that I, too, should and could be, doing more towards sustainability in my own business.

Congratulations, Lash, on your effort to resolving the climate (and environment) issues. Better still, I really learned a lot from your course. Great work!

There couldn't be a better example of how we all need to be thinking these days. Lash's own, what he refers to as, ICE to NICE journey charts a path for us all.

Your Instructor
Lash Saranna
Lash Saranna founded Autobahn Porsche in 1985, and grew the business into Europe’s largest independent Porsche centre. In 2012 his world changed, as he embraced global sustainable development and saw both an obligation and an opportunity.
Since then, his focus has been on educating and assisting businesses with the transition from old style cars to electric vehicles. Lash founded Electric Zoo in 2017 to offer a full solution, including EV suitability studies, electric cars, charging, energy tariffs and salary sacrifice options for employers and employees.
Take ownership
(From ICE to NICE).
Air pollution is killing 40,000 people in the UK per year, yet nobody blinks an eyelid. How is this possible?
If each household made small changes, it would make a huge impact on the world. It's not only about finding the solution, but about not adding to the problem: it is all about doing the right thing. Change has to happen.
The pandemic
(This is real).
COVID-19 has made us appreciate the simpler things in life, things that we had forgotten were important to us such as clean air, noise reduction, walking and cycling. Although we cannot bring all of these back immediately, we can go a long way to reducing carbon, creating cleaner air and reducing noise through the use of silent and zero-emission electric vehicles.
