Plug It In - about this project

As London’s most iconic news brand and a custodian of city life for 200 years, the Evening Standard recognises just how important it is for London to become a fully electric metropolis.

In 2022, we’re committed to making that happen.

Plug It In is a new, multi-channel campaign with two aims: to help Londoners better understand the electric vehicle landscape and to drive forward the electric conversation on a policy level, and at global scale.

This project goes beyond encouraging EV take-up. In order to go fully electric, an entirely new urban eco-system will need to be established in London, linking clean energy and clean transport of all stripes to a fully-fledged electric infrastructure. Our campaign will address all of these requirements, assessing the challenges and offering thought leadership and workable solutions.

By convening a global cadre of experts and pooling the accumulated wisdom gleaned from other cities that are successfully making the transition, we will accelerate London’s progress and create a universal blueprint for success.

Plug It In is supported by commercial partners, which share the project’s aims, but our journalism remains editorially independent.
