How we can ensure EVs are an accessible reality for everyone
This final EV Y podcast episode explores the challenges and the opportunities around accessibility and eMobility to ensure no one gets left behind in the transition to EVs.
We’ve reached the tipping point where Electric Vehicles (EVs) are becoming more and more mainstream, but higher upfront costs, lack of access to charging infrastructure and differing needs and abilities could mean that EVs are not accessible to everyone.
In this final episode of our EV Y Podcast series, Peter Matthews, EY UK&I Advanced Manufacturing and Mobility Leader, is joined by Daksh Gupta, Group Chief Executive Officer at Marshall Motor Holdings, and host Ade Thomas to discuss the steps that need to be taken to open up EVs to a wider market. We also welcome Catherine Marris, Head of Innovation at Motability, who discusses how companies in the eMobility sector can ensure EVs are inclusive and accessible.
This episode highlights:
- How to address the barriers that exist to ensure public charging infrastructure is more readily available and reliable for a broader range of people
- The changing economics of EV ownership and how it is encouraging drivers to switch to electric
- What further government intervention is needed to support and incentivise the public to buy EVs
