Saint Lucia), which are well placed (thanks to their small scale) to develop demonstration projects characterised by a rapid and full transition to electric mobility.

Industry roll-out plans

The main private actors involved in the deployment of charging infrastructure can be grouped into those that have a stake in EV or EVSE roll out from a "supply" perspective, and those that are influencing the deployment of chargers from the "demand" side. The supply group includes:

•Vehicle manufacturers, primarily focused on vehicle production but also active (sometimes directly, sometimes through consortia) in the deployment of charging infrastructure.

•Manufacturers of the hardware needed for the chargers and charger providers involved in the operation of charging outlets.

•Energy companies, including stakeholders closely associated with the electricity sector (e.g. utilities, transmission and distribution network operators) as well as major oil companies and fuel distributors.

The demand group includes logistics companies that install chargers for their EV fleet, companies active in the installation of workplace chargers and stakeholders involved in the acquisition of EV fleets. In addition, the players involved in the roll-out of destination chargers (typically located at hotels, restaurants and shopping centres).

This section focuses on the actors involved in the supply-side of vehicle and chargers. The demand-side is represented in the EVSE deployment pledges in the framework of the EV100 Initiative (Box 2.2). It is a significant initiative led by The Climate Group that is contributing to stimulate the deployment of EVs and chargers (The Climate Group, 2019b).

Box 2.2. EV 100 Initiative

Vehicle fleets

Companies joining the EV100 Initiative can sign up to various commitments, including pledging to transition the company fleet (including both owned and leased vehicles) to EVs by 2030. To date, 10 000 out of the 145 000 committed vehicles have been transitioned to EVs. Ambitious examples of commitments include DHL, which pledged to convert 66 390 of its vehicles and aims to achieve 70% clean operations of last-mile pick-ups and deliveries by 2025 (The Climate Group, 2019b).

Charging infrastructure

The geographical coverage of the commitments on workplace and destination charging points deployment in the EV100 Initiative covers the world, with almost half in Europe, less than a third in Asia, a quarter in North America and the rest in Oceania, South America and Africa (The Climate Group, 2018).

By September 2018, 38% of the sites had achieved their commitments. Most of the chargers installed have been slow (41%) and medium-speed (51%). In total, 5 718 charging points were installed with an estimated power range of 116-170 MW (based on data available from member
