- Welcome from Current Editor Liam Stoker
- Presentation from Event Director Matthew Wallhead
- Introduction from Conference Chair
-Understanding how key private and public organisations in London can collaborate to build charge points
-Address land challenges with space for chargers at a premium and some streets unsuitable due to narrowness or design
-Overcoming concerns of future charger obsolescence, with the fear of backing the wrong charger a roadblock to entry for some organisations
-Diving into key investments and wins 6 months after Zouk was awarded the contract to manage CIIF
-Highlighting the resulting opportunities for London and the UK
-Understanding how to deliver London’s first rapid destination charging hub, from assessing demand to construction
-Supporting the roll-out of additional rapid chargers in areas such as retail and car parks in order to ensure access to every Londoner
-Collaborating with the private sector and land owners to ensure charger delivery, maintain quality and support a growing e-mobility industry
-Understanding which last mile solutions can fill the gap in the short term, and how these can deliver quick wins to hit targets and reduce reliance on ICE vehicles
-Developing strategies for integrating last mile solutions into your fleet immediately
-Assessing whether traditional OEMs can deliver the volume of EV vehicles long term needed to allow fleet owners to meet their emissions targets or if new solutions are required
-Discussing energy strategies to minimising the need for grid upgrades
-Deploying stationary energy storage to reduce load demands on the grid at peak periods
-Enabling renewable energy sources to power truly Zero EVs with innovative energy strategies
- Showcasing some of the latest EV projects from Cambridge University in a wider context, examining what might be possible for electric cars, and an examination of what future urban mobility might look like
- Examining how academical and business collaborations will be crucial to success in the development of new EV technologies
- Addressing novel ways to combat range anxiety and charging challenges
-Analysing whether purchasing an EV, charger, roaming charging, energy supplier can be one transaction and how this can be achieved
- Educating consumers on how V2G will work, that they will achieve a full charge, and that their battery will not be degraded by V2G
- Navigating interoperability between different operators and charge points
- Illustrating how second life battery storage can be used to underpin EV charging infrastructure
- Examining second life batteries in the context of the circular economy; doubling the lifespan of batteries for better usage of the resources embedded in the battery packs, and improving the sustainability of the system
- Outlining how second life batteries can enhance fleet electrification strategy, increasing sustainability and cost effectiveness
- Exploring electrification of other transport systems to bring decarbonisation beyond just the automotive world.
- How to overcame the challenges that high-power electrical charging, such as for large vehicle fleets or ships, can lead to.
- A short insight into a fully European lithium-ion cell & battery manufacturer, which has its focus on transport electrification.
-Incentivising consumers to achieve 30% of new vehicle registrations as EVs by 2025
-Examining the impact of London’s ULEZ and the potential of a future ZEZ
-Analysing how two million people in London living with illegal air pollution can be protected with 50% of London’s pollution coming from road transport
-Navigating the challenges and differing priorities of London’s 32 boroughs to ensure a city-wide infrastructure strategy
-Understanding the role individual broughs will play in meeting charger density requirements, with 95% of London roads out of TFL’s control
-Assessing the variation in both demand for types of charger, and the space to build between different boroughs
-Best practice for funding applications
-Ensuring maximum ROI on public funds with examples of boroughs who have made the most of public grants
-Exploring the latest PPP models and examining what assistance the public sector can provide beyond financing
-Exploring what is needed to achieve the Electric Vehicle Taskforce’s aim of 300 rapid and 3500 slow to fast charge points in the ground by 2020
-Satisfying consumer demand of both charger location and speed and encourage EV adoption
-Understanding the current options to ensure chargers can be deployed without straining the grid, including Grid reinforcement, energy storage, V2G, smart charging, and energy tariffs
Every journey begins and ends with parking- soon this will need to be parking and EV charging, but are we ready?
What solutions are there for meeting the forecast demand for destination charging for the driving public and fleet operations?
What new business models are there to recoup capital outlay and monetise charging?
This panel will explore innovative solutions to current and future challenges from the public and private sector.
-Retrofitting an existing depot to be able to support EVs with an increased dwell time to charge, and a potential need for more frequent recharging
-Understanding the infrastructure investment of building a depot to support e-mobility lorry, bus or van fleets from scratch
-Looking at how the role of the fleet manager is set to change from managing a fleet of vehicles to a fleet of batteries as fleets are converted to EVs
-Exploring the challenges for the London Fire Brigade to electrify both fire engines and transition to zero carbon support vehicles
-Discussing the changes that need to be implemented to support this new electric fleet both back at LFB’s 130 depots and out on the road
-Discussing best practice for converting fleets for last mile deliveries and navigation ULEZ charges
-Outlining GNewt’s Asos partnership, and how retailers can outsource rather than develop their own EV fleets
-Analysing whether relying on public infrastructure is possible to charge your fleet, or whether there is a need to develop your own
-Ensuring ROI from charging infrastructure through innovative business models
-Exploring if a universal service model would allow coverage for more remote areas
