We have worked with specialists for the total infrastructure requirement across EEAST which will be large and a mix of charger speeds. This will take time to fully roll out so public infrastructure will support the needs until then. Fast chargers can put +100 miles in <30min

The vehicles will carry AED in case of attending a c9 or for a deteriorating patient, like an officer vehicle. When the specification was being made, additional CE was not requested as this was not required for it's primary role.

They have great potential for multi use vehicles in differing configurations. These in particular have been sponsored by NHSE for MH but as other vehicle life cycles come around certainty a good option to explore especially as battery technology develops even further
