DESCRIPTION:Join Policy@Manchester on Wednesday\, 12 November for the fir
 st GM Policy Hub seminar of 2025/26 to discuss electric vehicles use in 
 Greater Manchester.\n\nDomestic transport is the UK’s largest source of 
 emissions\, accounting for 28% of the total\, with 89% of this coming fr
 om road vehicles. While electric vehicles (EVs) are central to decarboni
 sing transport and helping Greater Manchester achieve its ambition to be
  carbon zero by 2038\, for many households\, especially those without of
 f-street parking or living in deprived areas\, EV ownership remains unfe
 asible. \n\nHow can we support a fair and effective rollout of EV infras
 tructure across Greater Manchester? While expanding charging infrastruct
 ure is a necessary step\, it is not sufficient.?What else can be done to
  increase EV use? How does this fit in with the broader public transport
  system across the city region? \n\nJoin Dr Helen Zheng?to hear about he
 r research using geospatial analysis and agent-based simulations to iden
 tify priority areas for EV infrastructure in Greater Manchester (GM). \n
 \nWhen:?Wednesday\, 12 November\, 1.00pm-2.30pm (with registration and l
 ight lunch from 12.30pm) \nWhere:?The University of Manchester (room con
 firmed on registration) \n\nSpeakers: \n\nDr Helen Zheng\, Senior Lectur
 er in Spatial Planning\, The University of Manchester?\nChaired by Profe
 ssor Arpana Verma\, Clinical Professor of Public Health and Epidemiology
