The Question Is No Longer Whether To Deploy Public Charging.

The Question Is How To Deliver It Well.

A closed-door delivery forum and procurement framework briefing for senior public charging leaders driving infrastructure at scale. Benchmarking deployment models with the public sector teams commanding over £100mn of the UK’s active LEVI and regional capital infrastructure pipelines.

Last year, over 160 senior decision-makers—from local authorities, energy majors, investors and charge point operators—convened in partnership with Islington Council.

In October 2026, we reconvene at a more critical moment.

Representing More Than £100 Million of LEVI Capital

Authorities already confirmed their participation in the forum currently account for over £100 million of Local EV Infrastructure (LEVI) funding, representing approximately one-third of England’s LEVI programme. Organisations include county councils, London boroughs, combined authorities and national delivery bodies now moving from procurement into deployment.

This is where public charging delivery teams benchmark, compare and share lessons learned.

Why This Matters Now

The UK’s EV transition is accelerating but infrastructure delivery remains uneven and insufficient.

• In June 2026, there were 121,262 electric vehicle public charging points across the UK, across 46,600 charging locations, with growth exceeding 25% year-on-year
• Yet the system remains materially off-track against the 300,000 by 2030 requirement
• Rural and county networks are structurally underbuilt, creating both political and economic risk
• Recent policy shifts are removing planning friction and redirecting capital toward on-street and underserved deployment
• Meanwhile, local authority fleet and capital cycles are misaligned with decarbonisation timelines, putting stated targets at risk

The constraint is no longer policy ambition. It is execution capacity. For operators and investors, the risk has shifted to structural contract viability, grid deadlocks, and procurement delays. October 2026 is the working forum where these bottlenecks are actively resolved.

What To Expect

• International Delivery Insights: Practical lessons from Oslo and the Netherlands on scaling mature charging ecosystems
• Private, Closed-Door Tender Clinics: Restricted, interactive troubleshooting sessions between verified LEVI procurement teams and commercial partners to resolve concession model deadlocks
• Closed-Door Roundtables: Chatham House Rule discussions designed for council-to-council exchange.
• Case-led discussion from authorities and operators already deploying at scale
• Direct engagement between public sector decision-makers and capital providers
• Cross-Sector Plenary Briefings: Co-authored fireside debates addressing grid infrastructure bottlenecks, bypassing generic product sales pitches
• High-value, time-efficient networking with peers facing identical delivery constraints

Why Attend

• Four years to 2030: the window for corrective action is narrowing
• Policy tailwinds are in place: execution risk now sits with delivery bodies
• Infrastructure gaps are investable opportunities—particularly beyond major urban centres
• Practical intelligence: leave with deployable strategies, not theoretical frameworks

Partnerships

Commercial Partnerships are Capped and Invitation-Only. We do not sell exhibition space or transactional sales pitches. We partner exclusively with innovators and hardware thought leaders, IDNOs, capital funds, and CPOs who want to co-chair our framework clinics and deeply align with local authority procurement pipelines.
