Toyota Smart City

5. DETERMINE THE CORRECT RANGE OF FACILITIES
Existing site infrastructure
Stakeholder desires
Cost to build and operate
Site location and accessibility

6. WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD?
Technology
Development
Usage

7. ESTIMATING DEMAND IS CHALLENGING

8. MANAGING OPERATIONAL COSTS
Micro-renewables
Ancillary / complementary services
Community groups and the third sector

9. THE COMMERCIAL CASE FOR EV CHARGING / HYDROGEN REFUELLING FACILITIES
Emerging market, number of significant commercial risks
Existing zero cost infrastructure distorts ability for private sector to compete
Some capital subsidy is invariably required

10. WHERE TO NEXT?
Low Carbon Transport Hubs will be built in Dundee, Newcastle, Sunderland and Perth by end 2018
Monitoring how they are used will be essential to optimise the value / attract further investment
Low Emission Zones may help drive change and create further need for facilities
