Electric Car Charging - launch event 14th May

From the chair of the BA Sustainability Committee

Hi

As an Air Quality Champion I'd like to invite you to the launch of the Barbican Electric Vehicle Charging scheme in Thomas More car park on 14th May at 4.30 pm where Nissan, BMW and Zipcar will be demonstrating their new electric vehicles and we will be able to see how the new charging points will work. This is followed by a reception in the Ironmongers Hall (worth a visit in itself as it is a stunning arts and crafts movement building with carved wooden staircase, panelling and William Morris wall hangings). There will be drinks and canapés and the opportunity to hear about current air quality initiatives in the City.

I hope you will be able to come. Please RSVP to https://whygoelectricbarbican.eventbrite.co.uk if you want to come to the Ironmongers reception.

Best wishes
Sarah

What is it about?

As part of the Low Emission Neighbourhood project, 30 electric charging bays have been installed in 5 car parks across the Barbican Estate, with the aim of promoting a switch from petrol and diesel cars to Ultra Low Emission Vehicles (ULEV).

This event will launch the six-month pilot. Charging point usage and user experience will be assessed to determine the best practice for the continued rollout of EV infrastructure on the estate and across City of London Corporation managed residential car parks. During the pilot, usage of the charging points will be free.

If you currently have an electric or hybrid vehicle, would like to be involved, and have not yet registered your interest in the pilot scheme, please fill out our brief survey, https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/BarbicanEV or contact LEN@cityoflondon.gov.co.uk. There will also be the opportunity to register your interest at the launch event.

We do hope you can join us.
