With agreement from schools, children will also be given the opportunity to see a parked, immobilised EV and have a look around, as well as sit in the driver's seat. Children will also be supported in understanding the UK transition to EVs and how this links with decarbonisation, climate change etc.

Depending on age and stage, and adapted accordingly, content may include:

• Introduction to EVs
