Local authorities play a key role in electric vehicle (EV) uptake. Identifying infrastructure opportunities at the neighbourhood level and pursuing them at the right time are essential steps to support and accelerate successful transitions. In the following Q&A, Daniel Quan, Holly Frost, Toby Thornton and Chris Jackson from the WSP Future Mobility Team discuss how application of the WSP EV:Ready modelling tool supports local authorities (cities, small towns and rural areas) and other transport decision-makers in the public and private sectors as they prioritize locations for investment and plan implementation of charging infrastructure. This tool was developed by WSP in the UK but is applicable to locations around the world.
