FOI: Number of EV charging spaces across University Campus
Dear University of Reading,
Hope you are well, especially given the current circumstances.
I am writing to you to submit an FOI request regarding electric vehicle (EV) parking and charging spaces across the University.
I would very much like to know:
1) The number of electric vehicle charging stations across all University campuses
2) The number of total car parking spaces across all University campuses
3) The number of dedicated electric vehicle parking spaces across all University campuses (if different from 1)
4) The number of spaces to secure bicycles across University Campuses
5) The average car parking cost (per hour) across all University Campuses
6) The average cost (per kWh) to charge an EV vehicle across University Campuses (excluding parking fees)
7) The provider of the EV charging facilities at the University
I'm aware this is a fair amount of questions, so if any of this may fall out of the budgetary constraints for this request - I would very much like the questions above prioritized by their order on the list with questions 1,2 & 3 being the most important.
I am happy to receive this data in which ever way is most convenient to you, including just the totals.
Thank you for your time.
Yours faithfully,
Martyn John
