| | | Curious about how we will power the Electric Vehicle revolution? | | Decarbonising the transport sector depends on more than just battery technology. It needs investment in the infrastructure to support it, and the power to electrify it. | | Transport is one of the largest emitters of carbon globally1, so the move to Electric Vehicles (EVs) is crucial to addressing climate change. | | In fact, it’s estimated that the global EV stock will reach 245 million vehicles by 2030 – more than 30 times above today’s level2. | | However, scaling up this technology is not as simple as installing charging stations. | | Electric utilities must reinforce the transmission and distribution grids that connect to EV charging stations. | | Energy providers need to invest to support the growing demand for electricity that more EVs will create. And that electricity needs to come from renewable energy sources in order to decarbonise the transport sector and continue the journey to net zero. |
|
|  | | Infrastructure investment underpins this transition to a cleaner future, and investors can support it by allocating capital to where it’s needed. |
| | | | Rebecca Myatt, Portfolio Manager, Global Listed Infrastructure, explains that by actively investing in companies that are at the forefront of the shift towards renewables, we can drive real change. | |
