Stakeholder Engagement & Communication
Stakeholder Engagement and Communication is one of the four pillars of focus within ZEVI and an important part of what we do.
We work with a wide variety of stakeholders at national, regional and local level as well as the public to deliver our overall programme mission and vision.
To facilitate wider collaboration, ZEVI has established infrastructure and vehicle stakeholder groups to share knowledge and best practice, and to identify barriers and potential solutions.
These include:
- Public Sector EV Infrastructure Delivery Group
- Public-Private Infrastructure Stakeholder Group
- Public-Private Vehicles Stakeholder Group
In addition to engaging with stakeholders through these formal groups, ZEVI also engage strongly with citizens. This is done through the website, social media channels, public consultations, campaigns and a comprehensive stakeholder engagement and communications programme.
You can access our latest consultations in our news and media section.
The Public Sector EV Infrastructure Delivery Group brings together public bodies active in the delivery of EV infrastructure. ZEVI collaborate closely with other Government departments, public sector bodies, and local and regional authorities to develop integrated policy and implementation approaches to EV infrastructure delivery.
To this end, ZEVI has convened an interdepartmental and inter-agency Public Sector Infrastructure Delivery Group, drawing together representatives from a range of organisations. The delivery group provides expertise to support the delivery of a comprehensive national EV charging network. It identifies issues and challenges emerging in the implementation of the strategy and provides solutions and guidance where appropriate.
The group works to integrate EV infrastructure provision into the planning framework, while considering local energy provision. The group also considers whether new regulations are required to facilitate the provision and installation of EV infrastructure.
ZEVI established a multi-stakeholder Public-Private Infrastructure Stakeholder Group to provide a partnership approach to EV infrastructure delivery.
The Group is represented by stakeholders from the EV ecosystem including the public sector, industry, and academia. Our focus is on identifying optimal policy levers, funding sources, and innovations to support EV infrastructure delivery. Our aim is to be transparent, responsive to market shifts and technological developments, and facilitate best practice and knowledge sharing.
The Group considers and make recommendations on how best to support and accelerate the rollout of charging infrastructure according to user needs (including safety and security) and how best to implement the data-sharing provisions of the Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Regulation.
The Public-Private Infrastructure Stakeholder Group also considers how best to ensure a wider public awareness of EV technologies and charge-point networks.
ZEVI established a Public-Private Vehicles Stakeholder Group with expertise to support and inform electric vehicle rollout.
The Public-Private Vehicles Stakeholder Group brings together representatives from the car industry and car user groups. These include the taxi industry, car-rental groups, car-sharing groups, tourism groups, HGV representatives and EV and motoring associations.
Public infrastructure is being designed to meet driver needs. EV drivers' charging needs are considerably influenced by the design and capability of their vehicles, and the purpose of their journeys. For example, Vehicle battery size; Vehicle on-board charging capacity dictating how quickly the battery can be charged; and EV taxi drivers will have different charging needs to car rental organisations or car clubs.
We work with a wide variety of stakeholders at national, regional and local level as well as the public to deliver our overall programme mission and vision.
