Objective 3: Support Fleet conversion to EV through providing supporting infrastructure to meet their needs
This objective aims to decarbonise the council vehicle fleet by providing the necessary infrastructure to meet the need of fast-expanding fleet conversion to electric vehicles.
From 2025, newly licensed vehicles must be electric or hybrid, meaning we need to ensure that sufficient EV infrastructure is available to the taxi trade. PCC have already delivered 3 rapid chargepoints for taxis and PHVs and are looking to install a further 6. Beyond this we will look to further expand the EV charging network for the trade.
By supporting the implementation of the necessary EV charging infrastructure for Fleets, this will help decarbonise fleet vehicles and improve the air quality across the city. By enabling public access to this, also offers greater versatility for public charging options for residents and visitors of the city.
This aims to work with fleet operators to identify their workers charging demands to enable efficient transition of electrification of fleet vehicles and operations.
