The British Standards Institution (BSI) has launched a new, open-access standard to help ensure electric vehicle charging points are accessible for all users. The standard is co-sponsored by the Government and Motability.
PAS1899: Electric Vehicles Accessible Charging is available on the BSI website, and gives procurers, providers and installers of public chargepoints the best available information about how to address issues such as the height of chargepoints for wheelchair users, the weight of charging cables, the positioning of chargepoints relative to parking bays and much more. Disabled people, charities, accessibility experts, industry bodies, and chargepoint providers have worked together to develop the standard.
