We conducted an online resident survey from 3rd December 2018 to 11th January 2019, asking 11 questions to give a flavour of what our residents currently think about EVs and what they would like the charging infrastructure to look like across the county in the future.
Thank you to all of the people that completed the survey. We received 1339 responses in total.
Some of the highlights are:
All the results received are being collated and reviewed, and we will use them to inform the next stage of the strategy development.
We are aiming to have a final strategy drafted for approval by November 2019. An additional public consultation on this strategy will take place before this time.
We are seeking your views on electric vehicles and electric vehicle charging.
We are interested in everyone’s views. Whether you currently own or drive an electric vehicle, are considering buying an electric vehicle in the future, or if have no plans to switch to electric, we would like to hear from you.
The County Council does not currently provide on-street charging points for electric vehicles, but we are currently developing an Electric Vehicle Strategy which will set out the County Council’s role in helping achieve the Government's ambition of at least half of new cars to be ultra-low emission by 2030, and zero emissions from vehicles by 2050.
We cannot guarantee that our position will change, but we will use the results from this survey to help inform and shape our strategy.
The survey will take between 5 and 10 minutes to complete.
