GFM UK/European Editor Ralph Morton examines issues facing fleet managers in the U.K.with Paul Hollick, chair of the Association of Fleet Professionals.
The report says that to meet its target of 300,000 charge points by 2030, the U.K. government must install 30,000 devices every year for the next seven years.
GRIDSERVE says this will secure the delivery of more than 5,000 High-Power Chargers over the next three years across the Electric Highway public charging network, and with such a strategically important network on the UK’s motorways, it will help fleets have greater confidence to electrify their vehicles, knowing drivers can recharge quickly while away on business.
The first new Volvo European manufacturing site in almost 60 years, the new state-of-the-art plant will be climate neutral and build only electric cars, supporting Volvo’s goal to be fully electric by 2030 and climate neutral by 2040.
