Electric Vehicles - Impact on electrical network. Survey of vehicle uptake.

Former Community Member

Dear IET forum,

I am carrying out research into the impacts of the projected surge of electric vehicle uptake on the local network infrastructure. The results will be used as part of my Technical report for Ceng. Please could you spare 2 minutes completing the survey in the link below? Its very short I assure you and completely anonymous. My aim is to understand a sample of peoples views on them personally taking up ownership of electric vehicles and if the pandemic may have changed their future car ownership behaviours. 

When complete i can post the results here and if you are interested make a comment and i can send you the finished technical report.

Much appreciated, thank you in advance.!

    Agreed. Scooters usage would be low enough to ignore. It’s hard to get the figures for how many are around in the Uk now, but another report shows that only 2% of the owners use them regularly. With the battery size being small, the impact would be pretty insignificant. Things like lock down and people going back to work after lockdown would be significantly greater in adjustment required. And as you say, vehicles like cars trucks and busses are significant, but as the national grid studies themselves show, this doesn’t require an upgrade as such, but a change in the way we use electric.
