About this webinar

The topic of rolling out EV charging infrastructure is timely as the government has set a target for 2035 where all new car and vans sales should be electric (ZEV Mandate). 

This event sees the culmination of the project by CIHT that was undertaken to explore a current and relevant issue for transport professionals: the challenges of rolling out charging infrastructure to support the widespread take up of electric vehicles in the UK.

There is a lot of information on EV charging around but it is located in different places and there is no “one-stop-shop” for the material. This report aims to bring all the relevant information that local authorities need to be aware of together so it is the “go-to” document by those interested in installing EV charging infrastructure.

The session will provide key insights and knowledge on:

• the role of Local Authorities in delivering EV charging infrastructure
• funding, commercial models and procurement
• accessibility and planning - including site selection and public engagement
• delivery and implementation considerations
• post implementation and consideration of future needs

Why attend?

• Free to CIHT Members 
• Excellent CPD opportunity 
• Opportunity to learn about how to support the roll out of EV charging infrastructure
• Interactive Q&A with industry experts 

Who is this webinar for?

This webinar is open to all CIHT members, CIHT partner employees, BCoE members and non-members. This masterclass is free for all CIHT and BCoE members to attend and is charged for CIHT Partner Employees and non-members.
