Click the thumbs up >The lack of an effective national strategy for creating kerbside charging infrastructure is emerging as the biggest barrier to adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) by businesses, says the Association of Fleet Operators (AFP).
The current Government approach to install kerbside charging means that 75% of the cost is met by a national fund and 25% paid by local authorities. AFP chair Paul Hollick believes the strategy is not working.
He said: “We have national fleets who are AFP members and want to go 100% EV as soon as possible. The stumbling block they face is that nationally, around four out of 10 people live in apartments or terraced houses and don’t have access to on-street parking.
