Why electric vehicles?
Cleaner Air for Scotland
National Transport Strategy Improved journey times and connections Reduced emissions Improved quality, accessibility and affordability
Climate Change Plan MtCO2e 12.7 8.7
Scottish Energy Strategy
Switched on Scotland ROADMAP VISION By 2050 Scottish towns, cities and communities will be free from the damaging effects of petrol and diesel vehicles By 2040 almost all new vehicles sold will be near-zero emission By 2030 half of all fossil-fuelled vehicles will be phased out across Scotland
Phase 2: An Action Plan for Growth
The action pyramid IMPACTS Helping individuals, organisations and communities to benefit from using EVs Evidence & feedback BENEFITS Motivating further support for EVs Costs decreased Convenience enhanced Cultural change User experience EV hubs Local incentives Emerging technology & services Making it possible for more people to use EVs Charging infrastructure Financial support ELECTRIC MOBILITY SERVICES Procurement Promotion & comms Policy & regulation Making EVs more cost effective, convenient and desirable to use INFRASTRUCTURE AND SUPPORT
..the public sector to lead the way
Table Discussion What do you think are the main reason(s) for adopting Electric Vehicles? What is your organisation already doing?

ERDF Low Carbon Transport Hubs Graeme Campbell Low Carbon Transport Development Manager Low Carbon Vehicle Policy Team
Low Carbon Travel &Transport Programme Public, community/third sector eligible Round 1 awards (May 2017) Falkirk stadium & Broxden Round 2 launch October 2017 Eligible projects costs from 250k up to 2m Projects to bring match funding Projects to be delivered by December 2019
Action 7: Support the development of innovative EV charging hubs across Scotland EV charging hubs are an innovative new development that have the potential to facilitate the provision of new mobility services, enhanced user experiences and deliver efficiencies in the deployment of infrastructure for sustainable transport
So what's a low carbon transport hub? Will provide refuelling facilities for a range of alternative fuels & transport modes Locations & composition determined by local circumstances & demand A mixture of low carbon vehicle refuelling infrastructure such as EV charging points, hydrogen refuelling stations & gas refuelling facilities
Visions of the future?
Simple solutions Park and Ride
Multi-storey car parks
Opportunities & Challenges Where best to locate? Incentives to maximise use? How best to promote? How best to engage with a Scotland-wide audience? How best to share learning technical knowledge/replicability?
Table Discussion LCTT & Dundee Incentives What opportunities for hubs could be available in your area? What incentives could your organisation implement? What is your organisation s fleet doing?
