The Project 


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). Manufacturers have highlighted that their ability to increase EV sales highly depends on customer confidence that there will be an accessible, affordable and energy-efficient charging infrastructure available. There is a risk that the roll out of charging infrastructure - which needs to happen at a vast scale and fast pace - does not consider all issues related to accessibility, affordability and efficiency, which will lead to socio-economic disparities.

This work is being undertaken as it explores 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.
