✍️ Campaigners, including Tanni Grey-Thompson, are urging the government to introduce standards for accessible electric vehicle chargers to ensure disabled drivers can use them.
👉 The number of public electric vehicle chargers in the UK is rising rapidly, but many are inaccessible to disabled drivers. 👉 Obstacles such as raised kerbs, touchscreens that are too high, and heavy charging cables make chargers inaccessible to disabled drivers. 👉 Campaigners are pushing for the government to introduce standards to ensure chargers are easy to reach. 👉 An amendment to the government's planning and infrastructure bill has given the power to enforce accessibility standards on public chargers.
