UK100 is proud to partner with Innovation Zero World Congress 2026, bringing together over 5,000 sustainability leaders, investors, and policymakers across two days at Olympia, London.

Charging Ahead: Delivering EV Infrastructure at Scale

Date: 28 April 2026
‍Time: 15:35–16:20
‍Forum: Built & Infrastructure
‍Location: Olympia, London

Scaling up EV infrastructure is critical for accelerating transport decarbonisation and catalysing broader clean energy deployment across sectors and regions. Despite significant government commitments, challenges remain in financing, grid capacity, and planning.

UK100's chief executive Christopher Hammond joins this panel to explore:

• How can barriers in financing, grid capacity, and approvals be overcome to accelerate rollout?
• Which public-private partnership models are proving most effective?
• How can local authorities be empowered to deliver equitable charging solutions?

UK100's recently published guide Powering Local EV Infrastructure: A Guide for Councils, produced with UK Power Networks DSO, addresses these questions directly — helping councils navigate charging infrastructure delivery, grid connections, and procurement models.

Moderator:

• Mark Constable, Chair, Recharge UK - REA

Panel:

• Christopher Hammond, chief executive, UK100
• Shamala Gadgil, senior programme/project manager, Coventry City Council
• Robin Heap, chief executive, Zest
• Jonathan Heybrock, sustainable finance associate, Green Finance Institute
