Geospatial project to support EV chargepoint rollout
A new Geospatial Commission project will explore what electric vehicle chargepoint infrastructure data is needed by local authorities.
Coinciding with the government’s Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Strategy, published by the Department for Transport, the discovery project will explore how location data can be better utilised to support planning and delivery of electric vehicle charge points by local authorities.
The Geospatial Commission discovery project includes workshops with 10 local authorities to identify challenges and opportunities for better use of location data in the rollout of EV chargepoint infrastructure.
Ten local authorities are involved in the project: Oxfordshire County Council; City of York Council; Norfolk County Council; Greater Manchester Combined Authority; West Sussex County Council; Cornwall Council; Kent County Council; Leeds City Council; Wiltshire Council; and Cheshire East Council.
Steve Unger, Commissioner at the Geospatial Commission, said: “Location data will play a key role in planning the UK’s transition to electric vehicles and help make net zero a reality. Through this project, the Geospatial Commission will understand the challenges faced by local authorities who wish to exploit location data. By working together, we will be able to unlock the potential for data-driven innovation in transport.”
