How do EVs help to deliver a Greener NHS?

In 2020, the NHS launched its campaign for a Greener NHS, aiming to become the world’s first net zero national health service. As part of this scheme the NHS announced two key targets:

  • To reduce the emissions the NHS control directly (the NHS Carbon Footprint), net zero by 2040, with an ambition to reach an 80% reduction by 2028 to 2032
  • To reduce the emissions the NHS can influence (our NHS Carbon Footprint Plus), net zero by 2045, with an ambition to reach an 80% reduction by 2036 to 2039.

 

One of the areas targeted for reduction is transport and travel: by working towards the world’s first zero-emission ambulance by 2022 and focusing on a shift to zero emission vehicles by 2032 for the rest of the fleet.

Electrification of NHS transport

As part of the greener NHS scheme, the NHS has pledged for 90% of the NHS fleet to use low, ultra-low and zero-emission vehicles by 2028, with the aim for the entire fleet to eventually reach net zero emissions. In order to support this fleet the NHS will also need to roll-out comprehensive electric charging infrastructure across the NHS. Alongside providing easy charging options to incentivise staff to use electric vehicles, this will include charging solutions for:

 

  • Staff parking 
  • Visitor parking
  • Fleet solutions
  • Overnight charging
