Thank you for your e-mail received on 1 September 2017 asking for information about electric vehicles and emissions.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act and TfL’s information access policy. I can confirm we hold some of the information you require. You asked:

5. Do you have any records of how many people own electric vehicles? If so, how many?
We do not hold information on the number of electric vehicles, you may wish to contact the Department for Transport (DfT) as they may collate this information.

6. Do you have any records of how many carbon emissions the city has managed to reduce so far with these sustainable transport strategies? And do you have an aim or target to reach for a certain date?

Information on our sustainable transport strategies is available on our website:

The recently published Draft Mayor’s Transport Strategy also sets out our targets for the future:

A separate response will be sent to you regarding the other queries you raised from our Customer Services team, you can contact them directly at [email protected].
