An EPIC thread on my unintentionally detailed new report investigating the very real threat posed to pedestrian space, disabled mobility and walking and wheeling targets by the national tidal wave of public on-street EV chargers needed to reach net zero: Streetspace Invaders

Enabling motorists without access to off-street parking to switch to EVs requires a vast rollout of public chargepoints - somewhere between 300-600k by 2030 - 10x as many as now - around a third of them on-street rather than at destinations or en-route

current rates of chargepoint installation are not keeping pace with the rate at which consumers are switching to EVs, generating mounting pressure on local authorities to accelerate installation rates on public highways

Thank you everyone for contributing your spicy ideas about what we can start advocating for to get on the radio. We're going to give our 'top 5' and give them a 'spice factor' using the chili emoji 🌶️
Starting off with 'beg buttons' for motor traffic. This is a spicy idea that up-ends the current system of road crossing in which pedestrians and cycle traffic have to 'beg' traffic to stop by pushing a button and waiting - which can be an agonising delay
We're giving this one a spice rating of 3 out of 5 chilis, great contribution @pareetjshah 🌶️🌶️🌶️ pretty spicy!
Yo dawg we heard you like cycles so we put a cycle on a cycle so you can cycle while you cycle.
One of our staff moved homes today with @pedalmeapp and this is what it looked like ✨🙌
Cycle freight like this can be used for a huge amount of London's journeys. This would steeply slash road danger and pollution across London. We're the campaign to make that a reality.
