How is electric vehicle charging likely to evolve in the future from a technology and retail perspective (e.g. wireless charging, vehicle-to-grid capability, bundled tariffs etc.) and what risks and opportunities may this bring for consumers, businesses and government

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. To achieve this, we need to better understand
the following research questions:
