Abstract A key aim of the project is to understand the changes that will be required to markets and energy supply systems to allow for a high deployment of plug-in vehicles, identifying the technical implications of such a shift and predicting how people might respond to any such transition.  The results are envisaged to benefit vehicle users, vehicle manufacturers and organisations throughout the energy supply chain.

The first stage of the project which completed in the Autumn of 2016 has focussed on detailed design and analysis to characterise:
  • Market, policy and regulatory frameworks
  • Business models and customer offerings
  • Integrated vehicle and infrastructure systems and technologies using electricity, liquid fuel and hydrogen
  • Consumer and fleet attitudes to adoption and usage behaviours
The second phase which started at the end of 2016,will deliver a trial involving 440 mass-market users (not early adopters of electric vehicles) to validate the impact of solutions identifi ed in the first stage. This will help to understand both consumer and fleet responses to the vehicles tested (battery electric, plug-in hybrid and normal combustion engine) and to managed charging schemes.
