Increasing the speed of uptake of electric vehicles is crucial to meeting net-zero goals(Gov2023). Overcoming data sharing issues would help to alleviate key barriers to uptake and improve infrastructure planning. The fleet and leasing markets collect significant amounts of telematics data, but the ability to maximise the value of it is limited by an inab...

Increasing the speed of uptake of electric vehicles is crucial to meeting net-zero(Gov2023). Cars/taxis account for 56% of UK transport emissions(DfT 2023). Range anxiety remains a key barrier to EV transition, with 58% of potential new car buyers held back by range anxiety(Volvo 2020). The issue becomes more pertinent in the second-hand EV market, where ...

The impact of V2G on EV battery degradation was found by Guo (2019) to be the primary concern about V2X activity for most EV users. It frequently features as a key reason for end users to be unwilling to undertake V2X activities (van Heuveln 2021, V2Street 2020, Guidehouse 2021). Battery experts have conflicting perceptions on the impact of degradation. U...

BEVscan aims to improve the user experience throughout the secondary EV market by providing the buyer and seller of a used EV with robust data regarding the health of the car battery. The value of second-hand electric vehicles is inherently linked to the battery SoH (State of Health). BEVscan will assess the feasibility of measuring SoH when an electric v...

The UK will ban all sales of new diesel and petrol cars by 2040 (DEFRA,2017). The adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs) could add c.30GW to UK peak demand by 2050 (National Grid, 2017), requiring significant upgrades to the UK's electricity grid, costing 'tens of billions' (ESC, 2018). This can be reduced to around 8GW with smart charging technologies, incl...

E-mobility is set to be a cornerstone of future low carbon travel. EVs currently make up about 1% of global vehicle sales, but EV penetration is forecast at 35-47% of new cars by 2040 (BNEF, 2017). By 2030, EV sales are expected to account for 60% of UK new car sales, but mass electrification of mobility still relies on improved access to charging service...

"At 40% EV market penetration, 32% of UK local electricity networks will require intervention, with an estimated cost of £2.2bn by 2050 (EA Technologies). Clusters of EVs, such as EV car clubs' hubs, have a more significant impact on the local grid, especially when looking at peak demand, harmonics and voltage violations. V2G has the potential to reduce l...

From 3,500 electric vehicles ("EVs") sold in 2013, the UK market has surged to >76,000 sales by 2016 (Next Green Car). Expected to account for 60% of UK new car sales by 2030, mass electrification of mobility poses considerable changes for electricity networks, an extra 20GW of peak demand (EFES). In order to meet the market need for a synergised solution...

Agile Impressions (AI) is a social enterprise intent on making e-mobility accessible to all by integrating the latest innovations in vehicle and charging technologies with alternative revenue models to lessen the upfront costs typically associated with e-mobility. A viable alternative to cars on account of longer journey capabilities and lack of physical ...
