Updates, reflections and explainers on electric transport and charging from the EValu8 team.
This is where EValu8 shares what we are learning as we work on electric vehicle charging in the East of England. Articles here cover progress on installations, changes in planning and funding, and the practical questions that drivers, councils and businesses ask us.
Our aim is to explain the work in plain language, so that readers can follow decisions and understand what they mean for their area.
Each article is checked against project records and official guidance before it is published. Where a subject is still developing, we say so and explain what is known at the time of writing.
Corrections and updates are recorded at the foot of the article.
Articles are added to this listing as they are published. For dates of public sessions and site visits, see the events page. For background on the work itself, visit the electric vehicles page.
