A Feasibility study to determine the commercial and technical viability of a condition monitoring system that captures availability/utilization data of EV charging infrastructure in real time.

*英国政府已下达命令，到2035年实现全社会和行业的净零排放目标。实现这一目标的基础；我们需要对道路运输业进行大改革。从内燃机向电动汽车的过渡是关键。影响电动汽车普及率的因素有很多，其中最关键的因素是能否方便地获得可靠的充电点(2)。*目前的基础设施要么太零散，不可靠，要么难以确定和信任其可用性，这使得行程规划变得困难，并使消费者持续“里程焦虑”。*政府对基础设施数据的访问受到限制，往往是过时的，阻碍了以经济有效的方式推出基础设施。他们没有办法追究充电点运营商的责任，也没有办法促进竞争。*由于数据不准确和不透明，车队运营商无法最大限度地利用其资产，也无法依赖公共基础设施。*充电点运营商要么管理传统的基础设施（没有状态监控的能力），要么没有专业的工程资源来捕获和管理数据。这对他们和他们适当管理现场服务团队的能力来说代价高昂。这是在扼杀竞争，因为他们无法根据正常运行时间和产品质量来区分自己。*房地产供应商没有办法对收费点运营商进行基准测试，也没有能力让他们承担责任。*公用事业供应商难以规划需求负荷。*在没有数据透明的情况下，充电基础设施的规模扩大将加剧现有和潜在的国内和工业消费者普遍缺乏信任和困惑，从而减缓整个行业的增长步伐。*公共资金将允许V2X解决这个问题，创建一个可信可靠的数据平台，实时监控英国充电基础设施的可用性和状况，在一个地方，每个人都可以访问。*我们的解决方案将给消费者信心，他们需要承诺购买电动汽车，并有效地计划/管理他们的旅程；政府有能力将投资引导到特定和普遍的网络使用领域，零售业主/能源供应商有能力根据服务/产品的质量来比较收费运营商。* V2X在开发和商业化此类系统方面具有独特的优势，具有开发和制造电动汽车基础设施的经验，以及开发遥测设备和通信系统的丰富经验。*该可行性项目将确保V2X充分发挥其潜力，为我们的客户提供长期价值，为V2X的计划增长做出重大贡献，并使英国在电动汽车市场上处于领先地位。

* UK-Government has put in place a mandate to achieve Net-Zero goals across society and industry by 2035\. Fundamental to achieving this; a major overhaul of our road-and-transport industry is required. Transitioning from ICE-to-EV is key. There are a number of factors affecting the rate of EV adoption, with easy access to reliable charging-points cited as the most critical(2).* Current infrastructure is either too sporadic, not reliable, or too challenging to ascertain and trust its availability - making journey planning difficult and sustaining 'Range-anxiety' across consumers.* Government's access to infrastructure-data is restricted, often out-of-date, inhibiting the roll-out of infrastructure in a cost-effective manner. They have no way to hold Charge point operators to account or foster competition.* Fleet operators are not able to maximize the utilization of their assets and can't rely on public infrastructure due to data in-accuracy and transparency.* Charge point operators are either managing legacy infrastructure (without the capability to condition-monitor) or don't have the specialist engineering resources to capture and manage the data. This is costly to them and their ability to appropriately manage their in-field service teams. It's stifling competition as they can't differentiate themselves based on uptime and product-quality.* Real-estate providers have no means of benchmarking Charge point operators or the ability to hold them to account.* Utility providers struggle to plan for demand-loading.* Scaling of charging infrastructure as it stands without data-transparency across the network will compound the lack of trust and confusion that is prevalent across existing-and-potential domestic and industrial consumers and subsequently slow the pace of growth across the industry.* Public funding will allow V2X to tackle the problem, creating a trusted and reliable data platform that monitors the availability and condition of the UK's charging-infrastructure in real-time, in one place, accessible to everyone.* Our solution will give consumers the confidence they need to commit to EV purchases and plan/manage their journeys effectively; Government the ability to direct investment to areas of specific and prevalent network usage, and retail owners/Energy providers the ability to compare charge-operators based on quality of service/product.* V2X are uniquely positioned to develop and commercialize such a system, with previous experience developing and manufacturing EV-infrastructure and extensive experience developing telemetric devices and communication systems.* This feasibility project will ensure V2X delivers its full potential, providing long-term value to our customers, contributing significantly to the planned growth of V2X and catapulting the UK into a leading-position in the EV-market.
