- This is a series of events.
These are online sessions aimed at local authority officers who are working on electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure.
As the UK approaches the 2035 phase-out of sales of new petrol, diesel and hybrid cars and vans, it’s important that we make sure the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) is accessible for disabled drivers and passengers. We’re here to walk you through the requirements, standards and procurement principles for accessible chargepoints.
The agenda:
- Introduction on accessible chargepoints
- An outline of the requirements
- Accessible chargepoint standard: PAS1899
- Accessibility, LEVI and procurement
- Q&A
