As summer holidays begin and schools break up across England and Wales, an estimated 12.6 million car trips are anticipated. From day outings to longer vacations, this surge significantly increases the number of cars on the road, consequently leading to heightened emissions released into the atmosphere. Throughout the summer, these trips are projected to generate a total of 1,400 pounds of CO2 emissions.
Given the UK’s ambitious net-zero strategy, a comprehensive array of policies and proposals are slated for implementation to decarbonize the national economy, aligning with the ambitious target set for 2050. For these results, we are in the demand for sustainable transport and infrastructure solutions to increase rapidly within the next decade.
To encourage public engagement in sustainable transport options, like electric vehicles, we need to ensure that more destinations expand their availability of charging stations. Do you agree that popular destinations and attractions such as shopping malls, fun farms, golf clubs, theme parks, they should all have charging stations?
Families often travel further to these destinations during summer as they have more time, the days are longer, and children do not have school the following day. They can visit attractions without worrying about the availability of EV charging facilities, which could potentially diminish the enjoyment of their day out or even risk not making it all the way home. Family attractions have the potential to become the saving grace for individuals looking to get away for a day or more without sacrificing the planet in the process.
Having the facilities to charge your vehicle will make a huge difference to anyone’s day. It contributes to a more relaxed and enjoyable experience, as opposed to the stress that might arise if charging options are unavailable. This could potentially cut the day short or cause stress about finding a charging station in time.
