Event details
Join us for the 1st webinar in the 2026 series, "EV charging site selection & delivery: what local authorities and industry experts recommend" where we aim to provide an in-depth guide towards EV charging infrastructure that leaves no one behind.
The panel of experts and local authorities will discuss the delicate balance between delivering the right charging speed at the right location, optimising usage and meeting the community's needs, controlling costs and limiting build disruption.
We will be discussing methods that can be used to determine how many and what type of charge points to install, what barriers you will encounter, how to future proof your installation and ensuring support for residents and the local community.
