Resilience Fund support for added costs in project 106188 due to Covid-19

Hypervolt的使命是使电动汽车在整个市场范围内得到采用，至少降低成本，为低碳交通和能源目标做出贡献。预计到2025年，新车销量的30%将是电动汽车(EVS)，预计到2030年，40%的家庭将拥有充电器，使电动汽车有望成为国内电力需求的最大来源。国家电网预测，2050年电动汽车在全系统范围内的峰值需求将达到6千兆瓦至18千兆瓦。这在电网集成成本方面带来了重大的经济风险，因为目前电动汽车充电器的部署是有机的，由用户偏好指导，很少考虑当地电网的影响。领先的“智能”选项提供套装充电宝+电费解决方案，但非高峰时段的收费激励基于国家价格信号，因此对于一个全国性但高度局部性的问题来说，颗粒不够细腻。有增无减的是，以前的创新计划得出的结论是，当40%-70%的家庭(10年后)拥有耗资22亿英镑的电动汽车时，32%的中低压馈线将需要升级或更换。因此，面临的挑战是如何在不增加电网集成成本的情况下在市场范围内采用电动汽车。Hypervolt寻求通过提供增强型ChargePoint解决方案来解决这个问题，该解决方案可以更好地使电动汽车充电与电力系统的要求保持一致，并更好地考虑到国家范围内的本地系统要求。这个由英国资助的创新项目支持进一步开发原型，以便在现场部署技术试点试验。项目成果将验证新技术功能，测试最终用户的接受度，并为商业化的商业模式提供信息。在规模上，Hypervolt具有颠覆性的定价结构和开创性的产品功能将使大众市场加速接纳电动汽车充电站，即使在电网受限的地区也是如此，同时限制基础设施投资成本，勾勒出一种比现状更具可扩展性和更适合现状的解决方案，以解决一个覆盖整个市场但高度本地化的问题。

Hypervolt's mission is to enable market-wide adoption of EVs at least cost, contributing to low carbon transport and energy targets. 30% of new vehicle sales are forecasted to be electric vehicles (EVs) by 2025, and 40% of households are expected to have chargers by 2030, putting EVs on track to become the largest source of domestic electricity demand. National Grid forecasts additional system-wide peak demand from EVs of 6 to 18GW in 2050\. This presents a significant economic risk in grid integration costs, as EV charger deployment today is organic, directed by user preference with little consideration of local grid impacts. Leading 'smart' options offer packaged charger + tariff solutions, but off-peak charging incentives are based on national price signals, and as such are insufficiently granular for a problem that is nationwide but highligly localised. Unabated, previous innovation programmes concluded that 32% of medium and low voltage feeders will require upgrading or replacement when 40--70% of households have EVs (10 years from now) costing \\\>£2.2bn. The challenge is therefore how to enable market-wide adoption of EVs without adding significant integration costs on the grid.Hypervolt seeks to address this problem by delivering an enhanced chargepoint solution that better aligns EV charging with the requirements of the electricity system, and better accounts for local system requirements within a national context. This Innovate UK-funded project supports the further development of a prototype to deploy a technology pilot trial in the field. Projects outcomes will validate new technology features, test end user acceptance, and inform the business model for commercialisation. At scale, Hypervolt's disruptive pricing structure and groundbreaking product features will enable accelerated mass-market uptake of EV chargepoints even in grid-constrained areas whilst limiting infrastructure investment costs, outlining a solution both more scalable and suitable than the status quo to a problem that is market-wide but highly localised.
