On street public charging innovation for home based fleet EVs

他说：“人们普遍认为，商业车队在交通运输转向替代能源方面发挥着关键作用。它们不仅创造了对零排放汽车的早期需求，还为私人司机提供了重要的二手车市场库存。然而，对于司机在家驾驶的车队来说，缺乏电动汽车充电基础设施，这可能会阻碍电动汽车在这一关键领域的普及。车队销量占英国新车市场的59%，解决这一问题将对电动汽车的采用率产生重大影响。也就是说，阻碍公共充电基础设施投资的一个关键障碍是资产利用的不确定性，这导致了高收入风险。因此，我们有机会研究创新的商业模式，为那些没有专用道路充电设施的车队提供充电服务，同时也为公共充电基础设施提供宝贵的需求。我们的目标是确定能够加速商用车队市场的商业模式、商业结构和技术平台，从而通过为更广泛的人口统计数据提供定价选择来推动私人市场。为了实现这一目标，我们将与合作伙伴EV Technology、分包商Baringa以及合作伙伴Connected Kerb密切合作。”

"Commercial fleets are generally accepted to play a pivotal role in the shift to alternative forms of energy in transport. Not only do they create early demand for zero emission vehicles, they also provide an essential second hand car market stock for private drivers. However, for fleets where drivers are home based, the lack of EV charging infrastructure for those without dedicated off street parking is potentially holding back EV adoption in this key segment. With fleet sales comprising 59% of the UK new car market, solving this would have a large impact on EV adoption rates.That said, a critical barrier hindering investments in public charging infrastructure is the uncertainty over utilisation of the assets leading to high revenue risk. There is therefore the opportunity to investigate innovative business models to provide charging for fleets whose drivers don't have dedicated off street charging whilst also providing valuable demand for public charging infrastructure.Our objective is to identify the business models, commercial structures and technology platforms that will accelerate the commercial fleet market, in turn driving the private market by unlocking pricing options for a wider range of demographics. To deliver on this we will work closely with our collaborators EV Technology, our sub-contractors Baringa and our partners, Connected Kerb."
