The University of Salford’s Energy House is running a free two-day workshop later this month, focusing on how electric vehicles can contribute to a Net Zero carbon economy.
The event is aimed at small and medium sized businesses in Greater Manchester and will take place face-to-face as well as being livestreamed.
The Greater Manchester Clean Air Zone will be introduced in 2022 and when fully implemented will see a daily charge for non-compliant commercial vehicles such as LGVs, HGVs, buses, taxis and private hire vehicles. Looking further ahead, beyond 2030 the Government has announced a ban on the sale of new petrol- and diesel-powered vehicles takes effect. All this will result in an increased uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) which combined with smart charging and smart buildings infrastructure will open up the potential for the future low carbon electricity grid. Combining these technologies with flexible agile tariffs also opens up the potential for cost savings for consumers.
What do these changes mean for your business? What will be the costs and benefits of adopting EVs? What are the practical implications of switching to EVs.
These are the questions that will be addressed during the event, which will be held on 14th and 15th September..
