Understanding The Opportunities Of EV Adoption For Public Sector Net-Zero Ambitions

Climate change has become increasingly important to our public sector organisations and their strategies for the coming years, with key steps needing to be taken across the country to mitigate impacts and reduce carbon emissions. Electric vehicle (EV) adoption has been earmarked as one of the leading, early solutions; an accessible entry level step to help make a difference in the short term, as we look to introduce broader, longer term societal shifts. But with no two public sector organisations being quite the same, where do organisations need to look in order to understand and implement the necessary support and infrastructure for effective EV adoption? What are the challenges, and crucially how does the public sector overcome these in a cost effective manner? To pose those questions to the experts, Public Sector Executive’s Matt Roberts sat down with David Butters, General Manager responsible for E.ON Drive, at E.ON UK. When it comes to overseeing EV adoption and infrastructure in the UK, David is one of E.ON’s go-to minds.
