Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Route Map Project

This project has been developed in response to the need to decarbonise transport, and address the new challenges posed by the increasing number of electric vehicles.

The project consists of three phases:

Phase 1 – to consult with leading academics, industry partners and the public sector to produce an effective, impactful and future-proof electric vehicle charging strategy.

Phase 2 - will focus on the physical implementation of smart charging stations and the grid infrastructure required to support modern charging technologies.

Phase 3 – To use information gathered from the implemented smart charging stations to build a detailed dataset of electric vehicle charging behaviours within the area. This will be used to fuel research into topics including vehicle-to-grid transfer for flexible energy systems, virtual power plants, and future economic/business models for electric vehicle charging stations.
