While the difficulties faced by those with mobility impairments in electric vehicle (EV) charging have begun to be recognised, chargepoint design innovation to solve these challenges is still in early stages.
Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) Distribution is entering the second phase of its Equal EV project, partnering the Energy Systems Catapult (ESC).
The challenges facing disabled drivers when charging an electric vehicle (EV) have been highlighted following user engagement as part of an accessibility project.
The Department for Transport (DfT) has partnered with national disability charity Motability for the development of new accessibility standards for electric vehicle (EV) charging.
A new survey from Zap-Map in collaboration with Motability has found that a third of disabled drivers have difficulties locating a suitable charger that could meet their needs.
