With less than eight years before the ban on sales of new petrol and diesel vehicles comes into force, the race to get the UK ready for a full transition to electric vehicles (EV) is underway. Connected Kerb, one of the country’s leading providers of charging infrastructure solutions, is a key player in ensuring that sustainably mobility becomes a reality for everyone – including the wonderful workers of the National Health Service.
With a workforce of over 1 million people and over half a million spaces where chargers could be installed, charging up the NHS could become a shining example of how the public sector can lead the UK charge toward net zero. This webinar examines the importance of having long-lasting, sustainable electric vehicle charging infrastructure on NHS sites and how Connected Kerb is offering a real-world solution to the challenges posed by implementing such a huge but critical transformation.
From exploring what NHS staff need from charging to debating charging speeds – where quick isn’t always best - to how to find a charger and using it, the session will also examine funding options and the full end-to-end service that Connected Kerb provides along the entire electrification journey from charging point site selection through to installation and maintenance.
