It’s been suggested that the development of electric vehicle infrastructure represents the biggest change to transport since the invention of the combustion engine. Certainly, opting for low-emission vehicles makes environmental and commercial sense for businesses, and the speed at which individuals and organisations are moving to electric vehicles is significant. 

This white paper outlines the nature of the market and the key considerations. It answers the following questions:

• Why is the electric vehicle market taking off now?

• What is the likely demand for electric vehicle charging equipment in the years ahead?
