EV Infrastructure Strategy Explained

The UK Government launched its long awaited EV Infrastructure Strategy on 25th March 2022 - this week we take a look at that strategy, distilling the 137 page document into a 20 minute summary for industry stakeholders.

We also look at the news - UKPN for sale, announcements from BP Pulse and some rumours the government will try to roll out a network of toll roads to start to recover lost tax revenue from electric vehicles.
