​Shell has announced a new ambition to install 50,000 ubitricity on-street electric vehicle (EV) charging posts across the UK by the end of 2025.

​The government has unveiled £12 million in funding for electric vehicle (EV) research and development (R&D) alongside plans to support the switch to electric vans.

​The world’s largest vehicle-to-grid (V2G) project has been launched at a north London bus garage.

​Over the next two years, Birmingham City Council will roll out 394 ‘fast and rapid’ chargepoints around the city.

EV charging is to receive a boost in the West of England as Siemens Mobility partners up with Alfen and ChargePoint Services (CPS) for network expansion.

​​​Portsmouth City Council has become the latest local authority to take up street light charging as part of its electric vehicle infrastructure plans, which will see around 50 new charge points installed over the next few months​.

​The government has launched a £40 million funding competition to develop new technologies and business models that demonstrate innovative ways of charging electric vehicles (EVs) on street or by using wireless charging.

​The electric vehicle (EV) charging market is “unlikely to deliver” the charging infrastructure needed in the UK to accommodate predicted take-up, according to National Grid’s strategy and corporate development lead for EVs.

Almost £30 million has been awarded to over 20 vehicle to grid (V2G) projects, uniting vehicle manufacturers, aggregators, infrastructure operators, energy suppliers and academia across the UK in the first major investment in the technology from government.
