Event details
This webinar series aims to provide an in-depth guide towards EV charging infrastructure that leaves no one behind. The panel of experts and local authorities will discuss why having a clear overview of the EV infrastructure process, from strategy building to deployment and maintenance, is essential for every local authority. Our expert panels will discuss the common hurdles local authorities can anticipate and how to overcome them, what elements will make an EV strategy unique to you, what to expect from the private sector – and so much more.
According to our latest 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.
In the sixth webinar of our series, "EV charging maintenance and future-proofing: delivering for current and future demand", we'll be discussing everything you need to know about the EV charging infrastructure process after rollout: maintenance, operations, availability and uptime, and futureproofing.
Join the live webinar at 2pm on Wednesday 16th October to ask specific questions to a panel of peers, colleagues, and experts, interact with guests, and learn more about making sure the EV charge points in your local authority are serving the community to the highest standards.
