This is *THE* most informative #EVcharging discussion I've seen in a while. A personal highlight is Ian Johnston's 10 minute breakdown of the cost challenges facing public CPOs at 40:18. If your job involves making decisions about #EVcharginginfrastructure (AC or DC, it doesn't really matter), this is a must watch. For my 2025 mission on making public charging more affordable, Ian's description of the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation and how that helps make public charging in Europe a bit cheaper, is really enlightening. It begs the question: 🤔 If fossil fuel companies can be rewarded for adding a bit of biofuel to petrol and diesel to reduce emissions, surely EV charging operators can be too? After all, there is nothing less carbon intensive and more renewable than the wind, solar and hydro that backs the electricity supply contracts of public CPOs. This could make a *huge* difference to leveling the playing field between the driveway haves and have-nots. At around 49 minutes, Ian outlines how much. Including public charging in the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation could create an extra source of revenue for CPOs of 5-10p/kWh. Lets explore how much of a difference that could make for our drivers. I'll be prudent (always wise with EV charging models) and use 5p/kWh. If we used the new income to discount our current rates, char.gy's night rate would be 34p/kWh. If VAT was also treated fairly for home and public charging (applied a universal 5% rate), our night rate would be 29p/kWh. Apply both changes to our day rate, and that comes down to 46p/kWh. Now EV drivers are paying 7 to 12p per mile for charging on their street, depending on when they charge. Either way, the EV is now cheaper than driving a petrol or diesel car. Bravo to Ian and Imogen Bhogal, Osprey Charging Network and FullyCharged.SHOW & Everything Electric for a brilliant discussion. Here's the link: https://lnkd.in/emQRxH33 Here are all the time stamps: 00:00 Introduction 01:10 No charging infrastructure? 04:35 How many more chargers do we need? 08:15 How do you choose a charging location? 11:02 Pub landlords! 17:52 Upgrading the grid is a paperwork problem 24:45 ZEV Mandate 34:50 What's the dream scenario? 40:18 Why is public charging expensive?! 52:56 Quite a ride 54:43 Concluding thoughts PS. You might be wondering how much lowering VAT for public charging would cost HM Treasury. FairCharge's Quentin Willson has done the maths and comes up with around £71m at current levels of EVs on the road.

Inclusive Utility Investments (IUIs) offer a promising approach to enhancing customer affordability for essential home upgrades related to energy efficiency. This innovative model enables utilities to directly invest in improvements like new, high-efficiency HVAC systems, battery storage solutions for increased resiliency, or general energy efficiency improvements in homes. The key benefit of IUIs lies in their ability to address the upfront capital cost barrier. Traditionally, such upgrades require a significant initial investment, which can be a major hurdle for many customers. IUIs alleviate this burden by spreading the cost over time through a fixed charge on the monthly utility bill. Importantly, this charge is structured to be lower than the projected savings on energy costs, resulting in a net financial benefit for the customer. In essence, IUIs function as a financing mechanism that unlocks access to essential upgrades for a broader customer base. This not only improves affordability but also fosters wider adoption of energy-efficient technologies. Ultimately, IUIs contribute to a more sustainable future by reducing overall energy consumption and lowering carbon emissions. Check out our Energy in 30 Podcast, where we have our host David Meisegeier talk with leading utility representatives who are now leveraging the IUI model in their current program offerings. #IUIs #EnergyEfficiency #Affordability #Sustainability #inclusiveutilityinvestment #energyin30podcast Let's discuss how IUIs can empower your home's energy future!

It starts with energy efficiency.

I really liked this episode of the Volts podcast - https://lnkd.in/eHXmW5Dx with Mary Powell. david roberts does a great job in this interview. There's just so much more potential with "virtual power plants" to help our fragile grid. this seems like a very important step for a more resilient economy. #ClimateAction #SmartGrid #Resilience
