Nature study maps flood risk to urban EV charging networks across multiple scales
A peer-reviewed study published in Nature examines how flood events propagate risk through urban electric vehicle charging infrastructure at multiple geographic scales. The research models vulnerability pathways that could disrupt charging availability during extreme weather, a growing concern as cities expand public networks. The work provides a framework for assessing climate resilience in charging deployment.
Why it matters
Procurers and CPOs planning urban charging rollouts must account for flood exposure when siting equipment, particularly as extreme weather intensifies. The Nature framework offers a data-driven method to prioritise resilient locations and avoid stranded assets in high-risk zones.
