Objective 4: Deliver in partnership EV infrastructure to support shared and public transport modes conversion to EV.
This objective aims to encourage wider sustainable modes of travel by facilitating each mode’s conversion to electric vehicles by providing the necessary infrastructure for this.
This aims to introduce EV charging infrastructure to Portsmouth’s car club to help decarbonise the existing fleet of vehicles and improve air quality across the city and facilitate the electrification of the car club.
The council has worked successfully with bus operator First South through the Government Zero Emission Bus Regional Area scheme which will mean 62 new battery electric buses enter service next March, which serve four out of the five Portsmouth AQMAs and cater for almost a quarter of bus passenger journeys in the CAZ.
