The research revealed a significant knowledge gap around EVs. In fact, nearly half (49%) of manufacturing industry respondents said that they do not feel informed about the opportunities EVs could present for their business 다음 로드 뷰 다운로드.
The research comes as Philip Hammond, Chancellor of the Exchequer, announced a new set of measures in the Budget to boost the EV market in the UK gbc 다운로드. These measures include £400m to be invested in charging infrastructure, and a tax break for people who charge their electric vehicles at work.
Jason Scagell, Director of Vehicle Charging Solutions at npower, comments: “Given the slow pace at which manufacturers are currently looking to deploy EVs, the Chancellor’s investment package has come at a great time 바람계곡의 나우시카 다운로드. More work remains to be done in clearly setting out the benefits of EVs to manufacturers, and this will need to be carried out on the broadest possible level, bringing together government, business and the EV industry itself to build a coherent country-wide EV strategy.”
