INTERVIEW
At Motability Operations , we are collaborating with the wider EV industry to raise awareness about the needs of our disabled customers during the transition to EVs . We have received positive responses from numerous organisations in the sector and have established valuable connections . However , we recognise that more effort is necessary .

“WITHOUT COORDINATED ACTION THE EV TRANSITION COULD LEAVE DISABLED DRIVERS BEHIND ”

HOW DO YOU SEE ACCESSIBILITY EVOLVING OVER THE NEXT DECADE ?
The transition to EVs is inevitable and we are fully embracing it . Seeing the rest of the industry moving in the same direction is encouraging . However , ensuring that everyone can shift to EVs is crucial . Motability Operations has a unique role in driving the transition , but we need help to ensure a smooth transition within the defined timeline . Without coordinated action , the EV transition might face difficulties , potentially leaving disabled drivers and the path to net zero behind .
