What battery technologies are likely to come to market in the next two to five years for use in personal light electric vehicles (PLEVs) and in what way will these affect the performance of PLEVs including their safety performance?
Background
The regulation and legislation the Office for Product Safety and Standards is responsible for is broad, covering several consumer and construction product types. This theme therefore asks questions that contribute to our understanding of the sectors and systems these products sit within. Specifically trying to understand;
- how can future political, economical, social, technical, scientific, legislative and environmental changes could impact OPSS’s sectors and products; including the result of cross government policies and priority areas such as net zero, circular economies and regulatory innovation.
- the size and nature of the markets for these products;
- information on the number and demographics of businesses operating within a sector or consumer base;
- how sectors are developing over time or new and emerging sectors/products
