Delivered on the morning after the Transport + Energy Forum and Awards, a vital practical breakfast workshop will brief on accessible cross-pavement charging solutions.
Exclusively for local authority officers, the brand new opportunity offers a deep dive into cross-pavement solutions with partner Ohme.
More than a third of drivers in the UK don’t have access to off-street parking, leaving millions at risk of being excluded from the cost and convenience of charging at home. Cross-pavement solutions offer a safe, practical way to bridge this gap.
Local councils are critical to making the EV transition fair and equitable. By enabling residents without driveways to charge at home, authorities can ensure the benefits of lower running costs, convenience and cleaner air are shared across all communities.
Join Russ Morgan from Ohme, Jonathan Jenkins from Motability Operations, Richard Evans from London Councils, plus Michael Goulden, Co-founder of Kerbo Charge, for a breakfast panel and discussion at the Transport + Energy Forum.
Together, we’ll explore how councils can enable inclusive charging in a way that is safe, accessible and cost-effective.
The session will feature real-world case studies from live deployments, insights on accessibility and resident needs, and updates on new government support. With an interactive format, attendees will have the chance to ask questions, share experiences, and take away practical resources.
The goal is to work through how we can reduce financial and procedural hurdles for residents while giving councils the confidence they need on site suitability, safety, and liability.
If you work for a local authority and would like to attend the workshop, you will have the opportunity to sign up when you register for Transport + Energy Forum. Places on this workshop are strictly limited, sign up now!
