Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

There is a British Standards Institution standard, PAS 1899, which sets out minimum standards by which charge point operators can ensure that electric vehicle drivers with accessibility needs are able to use public charging infrastructure both reliably and safely. It was developed in conjunction with the Motability Foundation and the Government, and was published in October 2022. It addresses common accessibility concerns, such as the placement of a charge point, minimum bay size, and the height and weight of the charging cable.
