No new nuclear power plants operational. Additional fees and charges added to electricity prices. Rush to implement Green Power. On a good or windy day these produce around 20% of the UK electricity needs. Solar also generates a good share of the power generated when the sun shines. Shoddy regulation. Nuclear 15%.

If the power supply and demand infrastructure continues “business as usual,” it will reach maximum capacity – unless extremely expensive upgrades are done. Combining EV smart energy management with the flexibility market provides the electricity distribution system operator (DSO) more options for effective grid management.

It is thought that the cars that Renault is building to function with the Better Place model will have the ability to have its power supply swapped and the newly announced Tesla Model S is said to also incorporate this concept. The thing is, you really dont want EVs to be charging during the day when there is so much other electrical usage.
