Transport was responsible for 125.8 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (MtCO2e), up from 123.4 MtCO2e in 2015.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30″][vc_column_text]In contrast energy supply pumped out 120.2 MtCO2e, equating to a quarter of total emissions, while transport accounted for 26 per cent. Responding to the statistics, Friends of the Earth climate campaigner Simon Bullock, said: \u201cTransport secretary Chris Grayling must play catch-up fast – his department can\u2019t continue to crawl along in the slow lane when it comes to tackling climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n

It would appear that consumers are up to the challenge: 37.8 percent of UK respondents to a recent 2,000-person OVO survey expect electric vehicles to become mainstream before many other new consumer technologies. This sentiment is echoed in Europe where a recent survey, conducted by E.On, showed almost 50% of 8,000 respondents think that over the next decade, there will be more electric cars then vehicles with combustion engines. And it\u2019s not just consumers that believe EVs are on the horizon: BNEF forecast 530m EVs by 2040 and oil giant, BP forecasts 300m. Fundamentally, EVs represent the biggest revolution in transport yet, impacting not only vehicle OEMs but the power sector, cities, local authorities, businesses with parking spaces and housing developments.<\/p>\n

However, in the UK the greatest obstacle to customer acceptance is by far (56%) access to charging points. Even though other issues around availability of vehicles at a reasonable cost, choice of model and the second-hand market for cars have also emerged, it\u2019s this single point that concerns consumers the most.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Equally important will be the interoperability of this Emobility charging infrastructure. Learn more here<\/u><\/span><\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Interoperability is defined as the ability of various systems to work together. For the eMobility market, interoperability leads to non-discriminatory eMobility services, such as charging and navigation, and makes it available through-out a defined territory (in this case the UK) without limitation and with a coherent service quality level at an optimized price.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”10″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” use_row_as_full_screen_section_slide=”no” text_align=”left” padding_bottom=”30″ css_animation=””][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space height=”15″][vc_column_text]Although all public authorities refer to interoperability in their regulations or their tenders, there are typically three primary concerns that have to be addressed:<\/p>\n
