considered a sustainable alternative to traditional vehicles.

Elements such as cable weight, height from the ground, and the proportion and quantity of accessible EV chargers depending on the size and location of the car park are all considered when our access auditing team reviews EV charging points.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ordinary people with disabilities often struggle to operate electric car charging points due to factors like their placement in relation to accessible parking bays and facility height (adversely affecting people of short stature, as well as wheelchair users). <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another frequently occurring issue is that EV chargers are often fitted with high curbs.
