Challenge
In Greenwich, improving EV charging infrastructure plays a central role in accelerating the decarbonisation of transport and the shift to cleaner vehicles, in line with London's net zero goals.
Electrifying car sharing has facilitated exposure to electric vehicles for users and has demonstrated how the ‘back to base’ model can utilise dedicated infrastructure. Emerging from this pilot was the support for a model which would move away from dedicated charging infrastructure for cars, as battery sizes increase and charging becomes faster.
Solution
Through Sharing Cities, the Royal Borough of Greenwich exploited an innovative integration with smart lampposts. A London wide data platform was able to collect, often real time data, across electric and shared mobility schemes, providing insights into the current and future operation of mobility services.
