Optimal Charging: Public Charging

Dates: Oct 16, 2025 

Place: London Museum, London City, UK

Organizer: UK Wide Events

Participants: Councils, innovators, investors, senior executives, and service providers coming together to discuss the most innovative ways of facilitating the rapid expansion of public EV charging infrastructure and enabling the implementation of local government’s Net Zero targets

With the number of electric vehicles in England topping one million last year and only 68,273 EV public chargers available as of August 2024 against the target of 300,000 by 2030, this government must ensure that councils can dramatically ramp up delivery over the next six years. Crucially, the UK’s county and rural areas are lagging far behind major towns and cities on the number of publicly available electric vehicle charge points. The industry indicates that the current LAs fleet capital cycle means that nearly all councils will miss their self-declared transport decarbonization targets. Optimal Charging: Public Charging will address this issue head-on and bring together top-level public decision-makers to discuss the urgent actions and strategic changes required this year to rectify the looming problem of missing the declared decarbonization targets.
