Workshops point to a multi-million-pound opportunity for electric vehicle charging innovation
The UK government wants to accelerate take-up of electric vehicles, which will require new on-street charging solutions, reports Tim Watt.
Parking is already a highly-charged issue for local authorities. To avoid potential overload, new solutions are needed to help support them in the transition to zero carbon emission vehicles across their communities.
The government wants to accelerate electric vehicle (EV) take-up as, in addition to producing zero carbon tailpipe emissions, these vehicles emit none of the unhealthy emissions produced by petrol or diesel vehicles on our streets.
However, unless new EV charging solutions are developed, this transition is at political risk, as the result could be discriminatory allocations of the resulting costs and benefits.
