The Local Government Technical Advisers Group (LGTAG) has published new guidance on charging private electric vehicles (EV) on the public highway.

The document, which follows an initial guidance note published late last year, notes that while the Government is promoting EVs as a low carbon, lower pollution alternative, some LGTAG member organisations have highlighted challenges with their roll-out.

It says one potential approach to addressing growing demand is to allow private individuals to utilise the public highway to provide individual charging opportunities, ‘which encompasses a range of cross, over and under pavement solutions’.

It states: ‘At this time there is no right, or wrong answer and a mix of approaches is going to be required over time.’
