Beyond the Plug: What’s Next for UK Charging Infrastructure?

Event Date: 16/03/2026

The Transport Technology Forum’s EV Charging Working Group hosted an in-person event, bringing together local authorities, industry, government and researchers to explore the next phase of public EV charging delivery.

With plug-in infrastructure now scaling through LEVI and other programmes, the session looked beyond deployment to the challenges and choices that come next.

Key topics included:

  • Power constraints
  • Cross-pavement approaches
  • Wireless charging
  • Accessibility
  • Cyber security
  • Procurement practice
  • Practical realities faced by councils

The event featured updates from DfT/OZEV, Energy Saving Trust, innovators, charge point operators, alongside a mixed panel exploring how different charging and mobility options fit within real-world networks.

The aim was to provide local authorities and industry a clear understanding of what is emerging, what remains difficult and where support is needed as deployment becomes more complex.
