PA Davos Studio debate: Go all electric or all hydrogen for transport – does one size fit all?
The transition to electric vehicles is key to the UK government’s plans to address the climate emergency. Yet motorists’ concerns about charging are slowing the shift to electric. To answer such concerns, we collaborated with the Royal College of Art to develop an emblematic and inclusive EV chargepoint.
Our aim is to drive conversations and action around the most critical areas of climate response - energy transition, finance, technology and innovation. Join us for bigger and bolder action and to discuss how we can help you progress further, faster.
