Addressing Barriers to EV Access with Felicity Kelly

Motability Operations runs the Motability Scheme, which gives disabled people a lifeline, connecting them to life-changing independence and freedom. As Head of Connected Mobility, Felicity Kelly sits at the intersection of access, innovation and inclusive design, ensuring that disabled people aren’t left behind as the UK transitions to electric vehicles.
