The Transport Technology Forum (TTF) is offering a webinar to help councils share practical experience of delivering electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure and discuss challenges they are working to overcome.
The TTF EV Charging Infrastructure Working Group webinar, “EV Charging Infrastructure: Local Authority Challenges, Solutions and Lessons Learned”, takes place at 11am on 30 September and will be chaired by Transport + Energy Founder and Editorial Director Alec Peachey.
It will focus on the issues authorities are dealing with now, and rather than relying on a series of presentations, the session is being structured around discussion and practical experience.
Local authority representatives will share examples of challenges they have encountered, how they have approached them, what has worked and what they would do differently.
The webinar will cover cross-pavement charging and gully solutions, community charging, commercial and delivery models, LEVI delivery experiences and wider challenges around public charging infrastructure.
There will also be dedicated time for audience questions, giving participants the opportunity to raise their own delivery issues and compare approaches with other authorities.
The webinar continues the EV Charging Infrastructure Working Group’s programme of practical support for councils. It has previously produced guidance to help authorities understand the issues involved in delivering on-street charging and procuring charging infrastructure, while its meetings and webinars have explored subjects including public highway challenges, innovative charging solutions, procurement, accessibility, power constraints and cross-pavement charging.
Working Group Chair Shamala Gadgil said:
“This next webinar will build on the approach of our previous meetings by giving authorities themselves the opportunity to explain what they are learning through implementation and to discuss issues which remain unresolved.
“It is aimed at people involved in planning, procuring, delivering or managing EV charging infrastructure within local authorities, offering them an opportunity to hear what other councils are doing and share their own experiences.”
