Despite a turbulent year, major companies from around the world have doubled down on their commitments and action on electric mobility.
In just a year, the number of electric vehicles deployed by EV100 members has risen to 169,000, over twice the number from last year. The total number of vehicles committed to be EV by 2030 as part of EV100 commitments has risen by 80% to 4.8 million.
As well as getting EVs on the roads, EV100 members are also using their property portfolios – their offices, factories and stores – to build a network of charging infrastructure that supports their staff and customers to also make the switch to EVs. Across the membership, 6,500 locations have been committed to have charging installed, a 103% increase on last year. There has also been an 84% increase in the number of locations with charging already installed to nearly 2,100, and the number of individual charging points installed has increased by 79% to nearly 16,900.
The most significant drivers for companies to transition to electric mobility continues to be reducing greenhouse gas emissions (92%) and reducing air pollution (86%), highlighting that commitment to the climate agenda remains unchanged.
The most significant barriers reported by EV100 members were lack of charging infrastructure (67%), lack of correct vehicle type (64%) and capital cost of EVs (58%), with light-commercial and heavy-duty vehicles cited as the most challenging vehicle types.
