Community Charging Hubs: How SSE is shaping the green future of travel

With the Government’s recent announcement of bringing forward its plan to outlaw the sale of petrol and diesel cars and vans from 2030 and the national bus strategy heralded as the most ambitious reform to the sector in a generation, the future of transport in the UK is about to undergo a significant amount of change.

In this webinar we will outline what future of the transport sector will look like for car, van and bus owners and operators. We’ll be sharing how SSE is planning to shape the future of travel by optimising usage of electric infrastructure assets to benefit both businesses and local communities through the provision  of electric vehicle charging hubs.

By providing charging services that can support everything from large delivery fleets and taxi services to local businesses, SSE is seeking to integrate the future of vehicle transport and encourage shared resources to minimise the impact on the environment and pave the way to a greener future. There is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach – every business has different needs and therefore will need to gauge which approach is right for them. What is universal however, is that we’re all on the road to net zero together, and so a collaborative approach is the way forward.
