Feasibility Study: The Smart EVSE Franchise (Em)powering Global Charge Networks

全球电动汽车市场正处于临界点，预计到2025年将达到6028亿美元（Markets&Markets）。从2019年的720万辆汽车和200万辆销量，IEA（2020）预测到2030年，销量将增长11- 22倍，达到2300 - 4300万辆，累计销量将达到1.3 - 2.5亿辆。2019年全球有730万个充电点，预计到2022年将达到1500万个（Markets&Markets 2019）。瑞银（2018）估计，到2025年，全球充电基础设施建设将花费2800亿英镑，关键是，要做到这一点，必须限制技术范围，并为用户体验标准化，避免重复/经常性的研发支出。Hypervolt于2018年推出，部署了专门为能源系统服务设计的英国最先进的智能家居充电器。Hypervolt现在计划对一项技术进行为期6个月的可行性研究，以在全球EVSE价值链中创造实质性的效率，帮助业务在不需要实体存在的情况下在全球范围内扩展。就对ZEV的影响而言，到2025年，该技术可以在全球范围内实现价值112亿英镑的供应链效率货币化，并将促进真正的智能电动汽车充电和V2 G网络，到2050年，仅在英国每年就可以节省35亿英镑。智能充电网络将释放80 GW风能和54 GW太阳能的成本效益，以实现56%的可再生能源渗透率，同时降低电力成本，并加速电动汽车的采用，以实现政府到2035年100%的目标。在可行性研究中进行调查的关键挑战是：实施成本，软件要求（可扩展性），供应链物流，可行性（盈利能力，竞争力）和商业模式。

The global EV market is at a tipping point, expected to be worth $602.8bn by 2025 (Markets&Markets). From 7.2m vehicles and 2m sales in 2019, IEA (2020) forecasts 11-22x growth to 23-43m sales and 130-250m cumulatively in 2030\. There were 7.3m charging points globally in 2019, expected to reach 15m by 2022 (Markets&Markets 2019). UBS (2018) estimates £280bn will be spent by 2025 to build global charging infrastructure and, critically, that to do this cost-effectively the range of technologies must be limited and standardised for user experience and avoided redundant/recurring R&D spend. Hypervolt launched in 2018 and deploys the UK's most advanced smart home charger specifically designed for energy system services. Hypervolt now plans 6-month feasibility study into a technology to create substantial efficiencies in the global EVSE value chain, helping the business expand globally without requiring a physical presence. In terms of impact on ZEV, the technology could monetise supply chain efficiencies worth an estimated £11.2bn globally by 2025 at full market penetration, and will facilitate truly smart EV charging and V2G networks that could save £3.5bn annually in the UK alone by 2050\. Smart charging networks will unlock the cost-effective addition of 80GW wind and 54GW solar to achieve 56% renewable penetration while decreasing electricity costs and accelerate EV adoption towards Government's 100% by 2035 target. Key challenges warranting investigation in a feasibility study are: implementation cost, software requirements (scalability), supply-chain logistics, viability (profitability, competition), and commercial model.
