Research purpose

As the UK Government has just announced their plans to end sales of petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2030 and for all new cars and vans to be fully zero emission at the tailpipe from 2035, UK Power Networks wants to ensure that SMEs are not left behind in getting the charging infrastructure they need to fulfil their business needs.
