Abstract :
The North East of England has been one of the most advanced regions for the demonstration of electric vehicles. So far, over 1100 charging points have been installed in the region through the Government funded Plugged in Places scheme and more than 49,999 electric vehicle journeys have been recorded since 2010 through the Switch EV trial. This paper gives an overview of the findings from this trial.
