The Energy Saving Trust delivers low carbon transport programmes on behalf of the UK and devolved governments. In line with government policy the Energy Saving Trust are currently developing their expertise in electric vehicles to enable them to support the roll out of EVs into fleets and private markets. They have completed research into the uptake of low carbon cars under different policy scenarios and further research into whole life costs of electric vehicles. The presentation to the CHIT will explain how the move towards EVs will change the vehicle landscape and how the Energy Saving Trust intends to play a role in this.
