Charging a Low and Zero Emission Vehicle should be easy for all users, including people with disabilities and older people.

This project will develop guidelines for Low and Zero Emission Vehicle charging infrastructure by comparing best practices and collaborating with people with disability and industry.

Austroads has developed guidelines to cover the installation of charging infrastructure for Low and Zero Emission Vehicles (LZEVs), including requirements, location, usability, and design.

The guidelines are designed to aid road managers, and to prompt consideration of issues relating to planning and design. The document draws on work and guidance from across the member states and New Zealand, as well as international insights.

Austroads would like to understand what opportunities and challenges LZEV charging infrastructure represent for people with disability (PWD). Based on that understanding the current Austroads’ LZEV charging infrastructure guidelines can be updated or refined if required so that the guidelines also facilitate accessibility and inclusiveness.
