Vattenfall joined the growing number of GB energy suppliers looking to build electric vehicle (EV) propositions, with the launch of its inCharge public network in the UK on 30 May 2018.
This move sees it enter the busy space of suppliers looking to engage with the opportunities that EVs bring. In this week’s Chart of the week, we track the fast-developing market for EVs.
E-mobility and low carbon
Electric vehicle (EV) uptake and public charge point installs have increased rapidly over the last few years, but to support the next wave of EV drivers, the public charging network needs to be improved. Government has outlined the leading role it expects from local authorities (LAs) in planning and delivering...
Commercial and market outlook
For the first time in 30 years, Australia’s highest-selling mid-size vehicle is not a Toyota Camry - running an internal combustion engine (ICE). As reported by 7 news, it has been replaced by the Tesla Model 3. This piece of information demonstrates that the EV uptake in Australia is achieving...
E-mobility and low carbon
Last month, three charge point operators (CPOs) rolled out dynamic pricing across their public networks, offering drivers lower rates for charging at off-peak hours, and higher prices during times of peak demand. In this week's 'Chart of the Week', we’ll look at the three tariffs introduced and ask what it...
Commercial and market outlook
Electric vehicles (EVs) are slowly becoming more popular in Australia, with new car sales increased during the last two years. Although Australia is behind in EV deployment compared to other countries, Federal and state governments have taken serious steps to accelerate EV uptake. Therefore, EVs could play a significant role...
E-mobility and low carbon
The energy crisis is hitting vehicle running costs for both electric vehicles (EVs) and internal combustion engine (ICE) cars. In this week's 'Chart of the Week', we focus on World EV Day by taking a look at one of the areas we have been tracking – public charging – and...
Low carbon generation
Electric Vehicles (EVs) are quickly plugging into electricity distribution systems (EDS) around the world. Their take up introduces new challenges due to their random and high energy consumption. One of the important challenges associated with integrating EVs into EDS is voltage imbalance due to EV uptake in residential areas. This...
E-mobility and low carbon
The last few weeks have seen several policy documents and consultation responses from the government published in the electric vehicle (EV) world, against the back-drop of record-breaking EV sales. In this 'Chart of the week', we explore the latest consultation conclusion from the Department for Transport (DfT), outlining proposals on...
E-mobility and low carbon
Energy retail has been dominated by high wholesale prices across the last year. 2022 so far has seen wholesale energy prices continue their upward momentum, with average day-ahead power prices in January 2022 125% higher than January 2021. In this Chart of the Week, we look at the impact of...
