Details

OZEV has been working with industry, to understand the barriers in obtaining a grid connection and the impact of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure on the grid. 

From this work 7 ‘action areas’ have been identified as follows: 

  1. Energisation of chargepoint assets.
  2. Increased accessibility and streamlining of the connection offer process.
  3. Standing charges.
  4. Providing a forward look of investment to DNOs.
  5. Land access / wayleaves. 
  6. Consenting.
  7. Continued monitoring and evaluation. 

This review examines these areas and sets out a series of proposed actions. These are to be taken forward on a voluntary basis by charge point operators (CPOs), distribution network operators (DNOs) and government.
