A recent article in the Time/Sunday Times has raised fresh concerns regarding the ability of the UK electricity grid to provide the necessary electrical capacity to supply the rapid growth in public EV charging stations.

The FEVER project is developing both the design methodology and the hybrid energy storage technology to deliver large scale off-grid EV charging stations, and believe this solution will enable projects to be delivered much more quickly by removing the need to request, pay for and utilise a grid connection.

The FEVER team discuss some of the key social and economic issues which impact the success of an off-grid electric vehicle charging hub.

A Southampton Engineering Professor is leading an EPSRC-funded project that aims to alleviate the demands on the electricity grid due to the oncoming rise in electric vehicle (EV) usage.

Off-grid, renewable energy-powered charging stations for electric vehicles (EVs) are being explored by researchers from the University of Surrey in a new £8m project set to solve some of the biggest problems facing the growth of EVs in the UK.

Some 131,994 cars were registered in the first month of the year, with a 11.1% uplift predicted for 2023
