transport systems<\/a> to deliver overall system success.<\/p>\nEncouraging investment in public EV charging within the UK<\/h3>\n As awareness and excitement for electric vehicles intensifies, \u2018charging anxiety\u2019 has replaced \u2018range anxiety\u2019 as a key hurdle to EV adoption. Whilst this is partly as a result of a lack of consumer understanding and \u2018misinformation\u2019, there\u2019s no doubt that further investment in the UK\u2019s public charging infrastructure is required.<\/p>\n
The study performed by the Electric Vehicle Energy Taskforce explores the different business models currently utilised and those expected to develop in the charging market. It provides policymakers with the information and analysis required to make clear, bold decisions and provide the solutions and incentives necessary to encourage the development of a fully functioning EV market.<\/p>\n
Commercial EV fleet charging requirements<\/h3>\n Commercial EV fleets play a pivotal role in the UK economy and could lead our electric vehicle revolution. However, whilst many UK operators have ambitious targets to electrify by 2030, the perceived lack of an adequate charging infrastructure is often cited as a key barrier to the wide roll-out of electrified fleets.<\/p>\n
This report provides insights into industries\u2019 opinion of the current EV charging options and, crucially, their views on future requirements to enable the mass uptake of EVs by fleets. Key stakeholders from public and private sector fleet operators provide their assessments, along with those from local government, infrastructure and energy sectors.<\/p>\n
These findings inform the EV Energy Taskforce modelling used to assess future charging infrastructure requirements.<\/p>\n
Cyber security and smart charging<\/h3>\n Just as data currently dominates our daily digital lives, it is also at the heart of the EV Energy Taskforce\u2019s smart charging aspirations and an intrinsic part of achieving their UK\u2019s electric revolution and zero emission targets. It\u2019s therefore imperative that data and security standards and protocols are established now, as the market undergoes rapid growth.<\/p>\n
Their report explores the issues and uncertainties around charging device interoperability, cyber security, data privacy and grid flexibility and stability; plus, the interventions and actions urgently required to overcome these challenges.<\/p>\n
This necessitates a collaborative, iterative approach by all stakeholders to define and advise government on the standards and specifications needed to ensure an efficient, equitable and affordable roll-out of smart EV charging infrastructures in the UK.<\/p>\n
Electric Vehicle Energy Taskforce’s data accessibility and privacy<\/h3>\n EV Energy Taskforce\u2019s future EV ownership experience will be driven and enhanced by data, between charge point operators and the energy system. This promises a personalised and seamless user journey that\u2019s better for the environment and our wallets, but it is dependent upon consumers being willing to share their data, something which poses challenges. This study recognises the vital importance of data privacy and security, as well as the need to build consumer trust and confidence in our EV charging systems.<\/p>\n
By mapping out the EV data requirements for smart charging between the network, charge point, vehicle and consumer, this report provides a gap analysis to identify what additional data is needed, how it should be provided and under what conditions. It also identifies data solutions for optimising the UK\u2019s energy system to deliver better consumer outcomes and policy decisions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
As focus moves to UK\u2019s charging infrastructure, EV Energy Taskforce signposts route to a delivery of overall system success through their electric transition reports. With road transport\u2019s electric revolution gathering in pace, the groundbreaking, Government-backed, Electric Vehicle Energy Taskforce (EVET) has published four new reports covering key elements of the electric transition in road transport.
