ITM Power has opened its first public access hydrogen refuelling station in London at the National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, the first of three UK stations to be deployed as part of the pan European HyFive project, which was funded by the European Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCHJU) and the UK Government Office of Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV).

Transport Minister Andrew Jones MP, who announced a US$2.8 million (£2 million) government fund to support the roll-out of hydrogen vehicles in public and private sector fleets, said the government is committed to making all cars and vans zero-emission by 2050 and hydrogen vehicles have a huge role to play in delivering cleaner, greener journeys.

    The first eVolt smart electric vehicle (EV) charge point has been installed at a residential property outside Nottingham for the Electric Nation trial, which is seeking to find a smart charging solution that will better manage local level power distribution at peak times. According to eVolt, the eMobility brand of the Swarco Group, research suggests that some of the UK’s local electricity networks will need intervention to enable motorists to charge EVs at home at peak times. It indicates that at least U
