As the election dust settles, all eyes in the EV Infrastructure (EVI) world will turn once again to the delivery of EVI to support the nation’s transition to decarbonised transport.  Project Rapid and the Local EV Infrastructure Fund has been billed as the ‘last big’ public intervention in the on-street, near-home, low-powered arena.  But what will these projects deliver and over what timescales?  And then - will that be it – done and dusted – and over to the private sector to install, commission and operate?  Or will there still be need for public and/or private investment?  This side-event will explore whether further action will be needed and what, where, how and when.

This session will focus on the new PAS1899 EV infrastructure accessibility standards, focusing on the distinction between minimum standards and best practice.

The session will investigate how Local Authorities can require CPO's to accommodate accessibility standards in their EV Infrastructure, including how they can articulate these accessibility requirements in their upcoming procurements specifications.

Oxford City Council presents an overview of the new procurement rules for suppliers and local authorities for LEVI and other EV procurement. A Q&A with local authorities, central government and charge point operator representatives will follow in the afternoon session.

A Q&A which follows the morning session, providing delegates with an opportunity to ask questions about LEVI funding to local authorities, central government and charge point operator representatives.
