The paper ‘Arming the Fleet – accelerating businesses scale adoption of EVs’, highlights that fleets are not being considered adequately in the current EV debate, and that there is also a gap that needs to be bridged between the fleet industry and the power sector to build mutual understanding of key objectives and opportunities for collaboration.

For electric vehicles (EVs) to achieve their maximum potential benefit for both the transport sector and the energy sector, closer collaboration between the two sectors is essential. So far, most of the learning around how EVs will affect DNOs has come from projects undertaken by DNOs themselves, but earlier this year automotive manufacturer Nissan launched a trial in the UK that could be of great benefit to DNOs.

According to the network operator, customers and the wider EV industry have told electricity networks that they are strongly in favour of giving people choice about how and when they charge. Shift is hoping to answer questions such as how smart charging could unlock the financial, environmental and social benefits of customers charging their electric vehicle during off-peak hours.
