Component availability for accessible charge points hindered by international supply chains.
Conclusion
One of the barriers identified by charge point operators is the availability of components for an accessible charge point. Both the Association for Renewable Energy and Clean Technology (REA) and the Motability Foundation report that most operators do not produce their own hardware, and so must source components from international supply chains which create components for charging infrastructure across the globe. Surmounting this barrier may require alignment and agreement internationally on what is an accessible charge point, to improve the availability of components which could construct compliant charge points.57
