Charging Ahead: Delivering EV Infrastructure at Scale

28 Apr 2026
Built & Infrastructure

Scaling up electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure is essential to accelerating the transition to low-carbon transport and supporting the wider shift to integrated clean energy systems.

Despite strong government commitments, deployment is often slowed by complex financing models, grid capacity constraints and permitting challenges. Overcoming these barriers will be key to delivering charging infrastructure at the speed and scale required.

• How can financing structures, grid capacity and regulatory barriers be addressed to accelerate EV infrastructure deployment?
• Which public–private partnership models are proving most effective in scaling charging networks?
• How can cities and local authorities be empowered to deliver equitable and accessible charging infrastructure that meets community needs?
