Considering accessibility
No one should be left behind in the transition to electric vehicles.
One in five people in the UK are disabled.
It’s estimated there will be 2.7 million disabled drivers or passengers in the UK by 2035, with 1.35 million expected to be partially or fully reliant on the public charging infrastructure.
Working with Motability Foundation
The Motability Foundation has conducted extensive research to understand the barriers disabled people face in using electric vehicles. Through this research, they have identified that there is a lack of accessibility across the UK’s electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure.
We worked in partnership with Motability to conduct extensive research and engagement with disabled drivers and passengers and those close to them, to understand the challenges they face and shape the solutions needed.
PAS 1899:2022
Our research has informed the UK’s first national accessible public electric vehicle (EV) charging standard: PAS 1899:2022, which has been co-sponsored by Motability and the UK Government.
