Keen to understand where demand is highest so the WMCA can consider a response in respect to on-street residential charge points, and address the need for other public charging infrastructure. The Combined Authority are interested in hearing your general thoughts and opinions on electric vehicles so that they can forward plan to adapt local policy accordingly. You can participate in the consultation here. The government are investing in electric vehicles and electric vehicle charging infrastructure to try and combat air quality and climate change and encourage the transition from petrol and diesel vehicles.
