Helping disabled people move to electric vehicles - with Motability Operations


Listen Later

With a UK-wide ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars scheduled for 2030, along with the 2045 target to reach net zero carbon emissions in Scotland, the climate change challenge remains at the top of the agenda.

But for disabled people, and their families, the green transport transition raises particular challenges, from the in-accessibility of charging points to a lack of suitable electric vehicle (EV) options. One organisation working with disabled people, car manufactures and other stakeholders to support this switch is Motability Operations. The company runs the Motability car, powered wheelchair and scooter scheme and has just under 70,000 customers across Scotland.
