Hear all about the Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Framework which breaks new ground by applying state-of-the-art regional analytics to develop a rich place based understanding of charging need, at a previously unmapped geographic scale.
With 97% of personal journeys and 88% of freight movements in the North made using our highways, our roads have a vital role in underpinning economic activity, opening up access to jobs, goods and services and in enabling growth in new employment and housing.
However, TfN recognises that road transport has a critical role in meeting UK targets for decarbonisation. Motorised road travel is the largest contributor to transport carbon emissions, producing 23% of UK road emissions; 6% of total UK emissions. We require a mix of technology, behavioural and place-based solutions to reach our decarbonisation targets. Central to this will be the need for a rapid rollout of EV charging infrastructure.
The phasing out of new petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2030 has been confirmed and manufacturers have responded accordingly. New EV demand accounted for more than one in four new cars in December 2021. The next decade will need to see a rapid transition to EVs and ZEVs, and this uptake requires the enabling charging infrastructure to meet our EV needs effectively and efficiently, as one of the solutions to decarbonise transport.
Join us for this webinar which will focus on TfNs Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Framework.
