A method of producing a validity plan (304) for a potential user of an electric vehicle comprises monitoring an existing vehicle, which may be non-electric, over a predetermined period. A daily charging requirement for said electric vehicle may then be produced. Journey information may comprise regular travels between a domestic residence, a place of work and retail and leisure facilities, for example. A monitoring device (101, fig 1) may be inserted into a diagnostic socket of the non-electric vehicle for data collection. The validity plan may include the use of a domestically based battery system. The battery system may be charged from a peak or an off-peak supply. The validity plan may also include a requirement to obtain charge for the electric vehicle for an alternative regularly visited location.
