Details

This research into the charging infrastructure needs and behaviours of battery electric vehicle (BEV) drivers aims to:

• understand the current attitudes and behaviours of BEV drivers relating to long distance journeys on the strategic road network (SRN)
• identify the chargepoint provision BEV drivers need to feel confident driving long distances on the SRN
• identify the delay or diversion BEV drivers will be willing to accept for charging on long distance journeys on the SRN

Ipsos conducted this research on behalf of the Department for Transport.
