According to the Climate Group’s first EV100 annual progress report, 31 companies have now joined the international initiative. The initiative targets zero-emission vehicles to become the “new normal” by 2030, with a target of two million vehicles on global roads. The report further notes that 82% of EV100 members are already charging their EV fleets with 100% renewable power. Yannick Duport, director of the mobility unit at EDF Group said: “EDF Group managed to introduce EV100 as a key performance indicator to the financial sector: now EDF enjoys a €4 billion credit line indexed on three indicators of the group’s sustainable development performance, one of which being the achievement of our EV100 targets,” said Duport. In a bid to address this challenge, EV100 members have collectively pledged to make public or premises-based charging points available to a total of 630,000 staff by 2029.
