What will future electric vehicle charging patterns look like as electric vehicle uptake increases? How will this be impacted by changing transport patterns (e.g. connected/autonomous vehicles and ‘mobility as a service’)? What charging patterns will have the lowest impact on the electricity network?

Background

BEIS has committed to ending the UK’s contribution to global warming by achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Our work towards becoming a leader in green technologies and clean energy will drive economic growth, all whilst accelerating global climate action through strong international leadership.
