Creating an EV charging infrastructure to meet net zero emissions targets  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The UK is legally bound by the Climate Change Act to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. The Climate Change Committee (CCC) is tasked with advising the government on setting and meeting carbon budgets, preparing for climate change<\/a>, and monitoring progress in reducing emissions.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transport sector is a key target area, since transport-related emissions must be cut to almost zero if the UK is to achieve its net zero target by 2050. As a result, ultra-low emission vehicles (ULEVs) will play a key role in delivering emission reductions \u2013 meaning the UK\u2019s charging infrastructure will need to be sufficient to support the required uptake in electric vehicles.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CCC commissioned our Data Science <\/a> specialists at SYSTRA to carry out a study to determine the requirements for the UK\u2019s future EV charging infrastructure. Specifically, SYSTRA was asked to focus on:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
