Accessibility vital for making switch to EVs practical and inclusive

Only 2.3% of the UK's on-street electric vehicle (EV) chargers are adapted for disabled motorists, according to new Freedom of Information research by Vauxhall.

This research, based on data provided by councils across the United Kingdom, studied the considerations given to disabled drivers by local authorities when installing on-street residential charge points.

From the 223 councils that provided data to Vauxhall, only 450 out of 19,456 on-street charge points in the UK have been specifically adapted for disabled drivers, representing just 2.3% of the total.
