Document summary

This guidance provides information to support the installation of electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure in London. The focus of the guidance is on the implementation process and considerations specific to London’s streetscape.

When outlining procurement options for installation of charge points, the guidance highlights that operator requirements include consideration of accessibility for different user groups. The design principles outlined in the guidance briefly consider the impact on disabled people both as a passerby (allowing a clear zone for wheelchairs to pass, and high-contrast design for visually impaired people) and as users of the infrastructure (for example, enough space for wheelchair users). It is also noted that designers of charging hub facilities should consider the accessibility needs of wheelchair users.
