The challenge

Local authorities face increasing pressure to decarbonise transport infrastructure while ensuring financial viability. Transforming park and ride sites into net zero mobility hubs requires data-driven decision-making to balance EV charging demand, renewable energy generation, and storage requirements.

Our approach

Urban Foresight’s digital twin toolkit provides a techno-economic evaluation of potential upgrades, enabling local authorities to:

• Model EV charging demand at public sites.
• Assess solar carport energy generation potential and battery storage needs.
• Estimate the number of EV charge points required to meet future demand.
• Calculate capital investment and operational costs of implementing net zero solutions.
• Identify revenue opportunities to ensure long-term financial sustainability.

The impact

By generating a fully costed business case, our toolkit empowers local authorities to make informed decisions about decarbonising mobility assets. This supports their net zero targets for 2050 while enhancing public transport infrastructure and energy resilience.
