UK turns to smart vehicle charging points to reduce energy costs
All home-installed electric vehicle charging points funded by the UK government from today must have smart technology built in, as decided by the Department for Transport.
New charging points must be able to receive, interpret and react to a signal, which will be used to encourage EV owners to charge their vehicle during cheaper, off-peak times. This decision was made in order to reduce energy demands during peak times and subsequently put less strain on the National Grid.
Announcing the decision, Roads Minister Michael Ellis said: “The Government wants the UK to be the best place in the world to build and own an electric vehicle, with leadership and innovation helping us to pave the way to a zero emission future.”
