EV accessibility hub

Welcome to the electric vehicle (EV) accessibility hub.

This hub provides support and advice to local authorities and public sector bodies on the provision of accessible electric vehicle (EV) charging.

It’s predicted that by 2035, the number of disabled drivers and passengers in the UK will reach 2.7 million. With the sale of new petrol, diesel and hybrid vehicles ending in 2035, the transition to EVs must be accessible for everyone.

We’ve gathered links and resources to support you with all things to do with making EV charging accessible.
