A pilot project trialing 30 on-street electric vehicle (EV) chargers that connect directly to a household’s electricity supply is to be run across Oxford and Cherwell.
Five Trojan Energy on-street chargers have gone live as part of the Subsurface Technology for Electric Pathways (STEP) project, led by Element Energy.
The Transport Committee has set out a series of recommendations to government to increase electric vehicle (EV) uptake while ensuring the electricity demand of charging can be met.
The government has a “mountain to climb” to reach its goals of phasing out new petrol and diesel cars by 2030 and for all new cars to be zero-emission by 2035.
The importance of smart charging has been identified as part of a survey conducted by NewMotion that found one in six UK drivers agree it is key to encouraging further electric vehicle (EV) adoption.
