Our Friends Electric


"Welcome to Milk Float Corner, to the best of my knowledge the only site on the web dedicated to "our friends electric" - the humble milk float. Designed for reliability, durability, and quietness of operation, milk floats are also pollution-free as they glide around during the early hours, and for most people who keep normal hours, the only evidence that they exist at all is the appearance of a pint of milk on the doorstep each morning. But although they may be inconspicuous, they are appealing little vehicles and this page aims to give them a bit more recognition."
Crazy.

A common misconception about electric vehicles is that they're pollution free, and coolness aside (lets face it, milk floats are very cool), an electric milk float needs to be charged from an electrical outlet. As most of the UK's power is thermally generated, milk floats still cause greenhouse gas emissions. (Not to mention the vexed problem of battery disposal.)
