EV charging operators need to prioritize safety--especially women's safety. Our friends at IrishEVs shared two articles with me that
pointing out the need for EV charging operators to take women’s safety seriously. In the first article,highlighted Maddie Moat, who presented a beginners guide series for Fully Charged. In 2020, she flagged concerns about a lack of lighting and the positioning of public EV chargers.charger last night… I had 30 miles left and this morning I was able to solve the problem pretty quickly. Then it hit me. It was dark, past 10pm, I was alone in a car park and I was scared.
Ionity’s Country Manager for the UK & Ireland, Andreas Atkins, was the only one who gave a thoughtful response: “In addition, our focus in the first four years of IONITY was on quickly building the network to provide basic high-power charging infrastructure in 24 European countries. Now that a solid foundation has been laid – with more than 1,600 charging stations – the focus is increasingly shifting to convenience aspects, which we have gradually tackled in parallel with the accelerated expansion.
“However, where ESB reference workplace and destination charging, they need to acknowledge that if they are selling a unit, there should be a duty of care to ensure the environment is appropriate for the purpose. Sure, a ChargePoint in the car park of a supermarket or railway station at first glance would seem ok, but that is in daylight hours. I have been sat in a Lidl carpark at 11.45 pm in the pitch black, terrified because there was no human activity and I was hidden away in a dark corner.
