Abstract
The Electric Nation project was concerned with private cars powered either entirely by electricity (“battery electric vehicles” or BEVs), or those with a conventional engine combined with a battery that can be recharged by plugging in (“plug-in hybrid electric vehicles” or PHEVs). All these cars can be plugged in to a chargepoint to fill up their battery and so are referred to collectively as “plug-in electric vehicles” or PEVs. When launched, Electric Nation was the world’s largest home smart charging trial with nearly 700 Electric Vehicle (EV) owners taking part in the 18-month trial. Electric Nation sought to find out two things: what will be the effect of PEV uptake on low-voltage electricity networks and can smart charging help mitigate these effects?
