We hear from Mark Winn , Head of EV Strategy , SMS , on the importance of collaboration to embrace and enhance the future of our EV infrastructures .
EV INFRASTRUCTURE : THE ONLY WAY FORWARD IS THROUGH INTELLIGENT COLLABORATION
Not all EV charging infrastructure in the UK is currently fit for purpose . Those involved in the rollout of public EV chargers – local authorities , developers and landowners , in partnership with EV charging and energy infrastructure experts like SMS – have achieved a lot in a short timeframe . Yet the needs of EV drivers are still not adequately being met .
Our own research has found that 70 % of EV drivers still have limited public charging options in their area . It was also found that 77 % have been unable or unwilling to access a public EV charge point either because it was out of order , unavailable , incompatible with their vehicle or in an area that felt unsafe .
This needs to change . All EV drivers should be able to access public charge points as and when they need them . To ensure a satisfactory experience when it comes to EV charging , there needs to be greater collaboration between
