Click the thumbs up >Winter conditions can reduce the range of a battery electric vehicle by up to 40%, participants in the Optimise Prime EV trial have reported.
The Ofgem-funded programme is the world’s largest commercial EV project and aims to discover how the UK’s electricity infrastructure will cope with the mass adoption of EVs, as well as how businesses can accelerate their transition.
It features three fleet partners – Royal Mail, Centrica and Uber – who each have different operating modes, as well as Hitachi and electricity distribution networks UK Power Network and Scottish and Southern Electricity networks.
James Rooney, fleet engineer at Centrica, said: “In 2014, we took on some Nissan eNV200s and they were a really good van in the summer, not so good in the winter.

Heather Patrick, UK Power Networks’ environment adviser, said: “Many people don’t understand bats or are scared of them, particularly at the moment, so Jason’s story is a great way to dispel the myths and inform people about ways to help bats.
Electric vehicles and heat pumps set for exponential growth on road to net-zero
More than 4.5 million electric vehicles (EVs) could be on UK roads, almost 250,000 households could feature solar technology and between 450,000 to more than one million domestic electric heat pumps could be installed by 2030 in order to reach net-zero, new research has found.
One scenario suggests more than 3,000% growth in electric vehicles and a 2,500% rise in domestic heat pumps by 2030
UK Power Networks had published its 2021 Distribution Future Energy Scenarios, mapping four possible low-carbon transitions through to 2030. Of the four, only the “steady progression” scenario wouldn’t put the UK on course for net-zero emissions by 2050.
