Royal Academy of Engineering Report Says EV Success Depends on Low-Carbon Electricity, Universal Broadband Provision and Smart Grids

Green Car Congress

The introduction of electric vehicles on a large scale in the UK can only have a beneficial effect on CO 2 emissions if low-carbon electricity, universal broadband provision and smart grids are in place to support the transition, according to a new report published by the UK Royal Academy of Engineering.

Self-Generation Nation – Solar Sales Soar Amid Escalating Energy Costs

My Energi

Whether small-scale wind turbines, solar thermal technology or ground source heat pumps, consumers are quickly moving away from reliance on mains supply and the uncontrollable pressure of market volatility. Each of our products help households to consume more of their self-generated energy and minimise reliance on the grid. In result?

New-build properties to be fitted with electric vehicle (EV) charging points from 2022.

My Energi

A precursor to the government’s 2030 ban on the sale of all new petrol and diesel cars, the planned introduction of legislation guiding the mandatory installation of charging points on all new-build properties will prove somewhat of a landmark moment. With the bill dictating that all devices will need to be ‘ smart’ (i.e.

EV charging trends for 2023 and the future of electrification

My Energi

In the past, the bugbear for any EV driver was petrol or diesel vehicles blocking working charging points. This EV charging trend is expected to continue in 2023 – especially when it comes to solar and domestic-scale wind generation. However, now we have a new enemy – EV users that don’t move their cars once charging has finished.

Why Hydrogen power is not the answer

EV Info

Liquified hydrogen may be as light as petrol or kerosene, but keeping it at -257C requires much heavier apparatus. Wind often generates electricity when it is not needed (and doesn’t generate it when it is needed). So when the wind is blowing, the hydrogen lobby argues, we can create “green hydrogen” using electrolysis.
