Posted on in Business News , Cycles News

This survey is intended for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs).

Responses are welcome from all SMEs even if they do not currently have any vehicles, or have no plans to switch to electric vehicles.

 

Survey background

Ricardo Energy & Environment and UK Power Networks are running this survey to understand how best to support SMEs that may be looking to invest in their first electric vehicle, or to switch their commercial fleet to electric.

 

Research purpose

As the UK Government has just announced their plans to end sales of petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2030 and for all new cars and vans to be fully zero emission at the tailpipe from 2035, UK Power Networks wants to ensure that SMEs are not left behind in getting the charging infrastructure they need to fulfil their business needs.
