Electric Vehicle Charging Regulation

GET.transform provides a short paper on international experiences to help inform effective regulation for electric vehicle (EV) charging. EVs, especially when combined with renewable energy, have great potential to decarbonise the transportation sector. At the same time, regulators are faced with the complex challenge of drawing up new regulation to cater to all aspects of these new mobility and grid use patterns.
