<p>National Grid published their 2018 Future Energy Scenarios on 12 July (attached)
and previously produced a bespoke note on the electricity system impacts of electric
vehicles (attached). The level of impact that National Grid presents is readily manageable
by the electricity system, and shows the benefits that can be provided through smart
charging of electric vehicles. Therefore, the Government has taken powers in the Automated
and Electric Vehicles Act to mandate that all charge points sold or installed in the
UK must be smart enabled, and we are planning to consult on secondary regulations
in the new year. In addition, the Government has established an Electric Vehicle Energy
Taskforce in order to consider these issues, including the underpinning industry standards
and practices that may be required.</p>
