Osborne Clarke Video Miniseries: The legal challenges of delivering e-mobility

Intelligent Transport’s Leah Hockley is joined by Osborne Clarke’s Dr Karla Klasen and Dr Alexander Dlouhy to discuss the legal challenges of delivering e-mobility in the first of a three-episode video miniseries in partnership with the international law firm.

In the first of a three-episode video miniseries, Intelligent Transport‘s Leah Hockley is joined by Dr Karla Klasen, Associate at Osborne Clarke, and Dr Alexander Dlouhy, Partner at Osborne Clarke, to discuss the legal challenges that are being faced by the public industry in relation to the wider delivery of e-mobility, as well as the legislation and legal framework surrounding electric vehicle (EV) adoption and charging frameworks.

Key discussion points raised during the conversation include:

  • What are the legal challenges of delivering e-mobility? 
  • Is current legislation conducive to EV adoption? 
  • Should public transport operators be encouraged to adopt e-mobility through coercion or reward? 
  • Who should be responsible for deploying, owning and managing EV charging networks/stations? 
  • How can the energy and transport sectors work in collaboration in order to navigate the legal issues of e-mobility and define the solutions?
