| Objectives | The project will take information from TfL and London Electric Vehicle Company (LEVC) regarding the anticipated uptake of EV taxis in London. It will translate this into the network impacts, identifying and quantifying areas of UK Power Networks network which will require some intervention to accommodate this uptake. It will promote stakeholder engagement, now and into the future between UK Power Networks and key taxi industry representatives. Taxis and private hire vehicles licenced in Greater London Taxi Drivers using residential/on-street (overnight) parking (these are therefore the expected charging locations for vehicles in future) Operated by owner-operators who will charge at home (commercial or share use vehicles will be heavily dependent on rapid charger networks, which are outside the scope of this work) Uptake as a minimum to 2022 (date at which emissions regulations will be fully enforced), but data likely to allow analysis up to 2025 The objective of this project is to deliver a robust forecast of the uptake and impact of plug-in taxis within the London area, allowing UK Power Networks to manage the network impact and risks associated with the plug-in vehicle uptake which will be accelerated by the zero emission by 2022 scheme. | |
