Event details
According to this year's Local Authority Insight Report, a third of local authorities have no formal EV infrastructure plan in place, and in the North of England the number rises to 40%. Last year, 20% of respondents in the report hoped to have fully rolled out a local charging infrastructure by now. This updated survey finds none have, and only 13% expect rollout within the next 12 months. It's now more important than ever that local authorities are given all the insights, tools and resources they need to start their EV journey.
The third webinar of the series, "EV charging funding and procurement: what are the options for your Local Authority?" will explore what funding options and procurement routes are available to Local Authorities looking to deploy electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Panellists will discuss all alternatives from 100% public funding to 100% privately funded models and the role of the private sector in supporting Local Authorities on their funding and procurement journeys, including advice on market research, tender preparation and case studies.
Join this webinar at 2pm on 15th May to hear all you need to know about funding and procurement options for your own local areas from a panel of industry experts and local authorities - and have your own questions answered live during the sessions.
