If Local Authorities have a social responsibility in the electric revolution, it’s to ensure that EV charging is accessible to as many residents and businesses as possible.
To fulfil this role, an authority needs to understand four key questions:
- What are the appropriate accessibility criteria for EV charging?
- What is my current accessibility?
- How far off the ideal is my authority now?
- What is the most efficient way to bridge the gap?
At the core of our solution to these questions is our off-street parking analysis. We have analysed all the 27 million households in Great Britain to determine whether they have off-street parking. According to our analysis, 8 million households need on-street access but only 10% currently have access to charging within a 5-minute walk. Authorities will, therefore, need on-street parking provisions – particularly when corporate fleets move to electric vehicles.
We’ve have developed a range of products for Local Authorities to help you create an EV charging policy that social responsibility and net-zero objectives with your available budget fairly and transparently, so the stakeholders ranging from residents to elected members can understand and engage in the evolving policy.
