The growth in utilisation of Electric Vehicles (EV) over recent years has been phenomenal, and with the 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel cars looming, alongside EV cost reductions and performance improvements, this trend will continue. However, future proofing a town or city is a complex task, and many areas are already falling behind when it comes to preparedness for the EV transition. Here, Ian Dee will showcase how both Local Authorities and Chargepoint Operators are leveraging geospatial intelligence to give them a unique advantage and perspective as the plan for an electrified future.
