Michelle Gardner, deputy policy director of Logistics UK, expressed support for the government’s announcement of the Depot Charging Scheme on July 13, 2025, which aims to assist operators in installing electric vehicle charging infrastructure. However, she highlighted ongoing challenges, particularly the inadequate public charging facilities for commercial vehicles and the need for a strategic plan to enhance them. Gardner emphasized the importance of prioritizing the logistics sector for grid connections and urged the government to address high costs and other issues promptly.
