The City of Copenhagen in Denmark has decided to support use of electric cars by earmarking up to 500 parking places, equipped with charging points, for EVs. The plan also includes reduced parking fees for the vehicles.
PTV Group is to model how transport networks can be integrated with future electricity network requirements as electric vehicle (EV) charge points are rolled out.
It has joined a consortium, led by SP Energy Networks, which will look at ways of facilitating the increase in electricity demand which will be caused by the anticipated growth of EVs.
“It is becoming increasingly important to understand the interaction between the take-up and demand for EVs and the capacity and supply within the electricity
Scottish Enterprise has awarded algorithm specialist Route Monkey a grant to support the research and development of an app that provides electric vehicle (EV) drivers with real time navigation and information on charging points en route.
Livingston-based Route Monkey says the US$412,000 (£285,000), which contributes to the overall project cost of US$1 million ( £749,000), will accelerate the company’s R&D programme, enabling it to deliver this software as a service (SAAS) offering to the market as quick
