In December 2010, Transport Secretary Philip Hammond and Business Minister Mark Prisk outlined government policy to make 2011 the year of the electric car for the UK. Car manufacturers are lining up new electric cars. Energy providers are looking at the need for a smart grid to accommodate an EV infrastructure network. Many of the UK's cities have a number of electric vehicle trials underway. But an EV network needs investment, well informed policy, and the coordination of a number of different industries.
On 05 May 2011, we hosted the Intellect Electric Vehicle conference, bringing together government and local government policy makers, analysts, the energy industry, the automotive industry, and the ICT industry to look at the various challenges and opportunities of rolling out a EV network across the UK. The ICT industry has a key role to play across the value chain: from the car itself to the charging points, and all the critical infrastructure in between.
