Bright Blue’s report, Driving uptake: maturing the market for battery electric vehicles, has featured in an article in Fleet News. The article outlines several policy recommendations made in the report including; making chargepoint interoperability mandatory to receive government funding; mandating that all petrol stations above a certain size install at least three rapid chargepoints; front-loading the Plug-in Car Grant before phasing it out; and, introducing a Used Vehicle Plug-in Car Grant of at least £2,000.
