Description
In November 2020, the UK Government announced that all new sales of conventional petrol and diesel light-duty vehicles must end by 2030. Therefore, the automotive market will need to transition to electric vehicles. The UK's transition to EV's will need infrastructure that takes into account the usage patterns of different drivers. Van drivers typically have different usage patterns to car drivers, making multiple stops a day and many only returning to their base once at the end of the day, whereas cars will usually make one stop before returning to base. Therefore, many vans will need recharging throughout the day at a public charging point. They will also need recharging when returning to base, whether at depot or at home, using public or private slow chargers. Van drivers also primarily travel on local, rural and A roads so it is essential that chargers are also commonly located on these roads and not just on motorways. Currently, access to 24-hour public rapid chargers across the UK on these roads are limited, compared with that of petrol and diesel stations. Further, though the South-East has the highest proportion of van stock, London has the highest proportion of ULEV vans as a disproportionate share of public charging devices being rolled out are concentrated in London. Therefore, it is essential that the rollout of EV infrastructure is spread more evenly across the UK. Survey results indicate that the usage of licenced vans range from carrying equipment, tools or materials, delivery/collection of goods, private/domestic non-business use, recreational/leisure and holidays and providing transport to others. Therefore, it is likely that vans travel to a range of sites, for example private residences, commercial premises and industrial estates, spending varying lengths of time at each destination. As a result, the potential models that may be suitable for cars i.e. widespread provision of charge points in private venues (e.g. workplaces, shopping centres, and car parks) may not be suitable for vans. Options such as rapid charging hubs or on-street charging models could be more appropriate.
This research aims to define the differences between van and car usage patterns and assess the additional charging requirements needed when taking those differences into account.
