Electric Streets accessibility FOI

PR Campaign
Wednesday 29th July, 2026

Vauxhall commissioned FOI requests across UK councils and published research showing only 49 of 194 councils provide accessible on‑street EV chargers, highlighting regional disparities and pushing its Electric Streets campaign to encourage disabled drivers to register needs and call for accessibility as standard.

Why it worked: It used fresh FOI-sourced, region-by-region deficit data to expose a public-service gap tied to active policy targets, creating accountability news.

The lesson: Consider filing FOIs to quantify a neglected accessibility gap by region, then publish a simple leaderboard that names laggards and leaders.
