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> answering member printed Lord Henley attachment 1 file name 2nd attachment to HL11632.pdf title 2018 Future Energy Scenarios 2 file name Attachment to HL11632.pdf title Electricity system impacts of electric vehicles question first answered 28/11/2018 13:54:56 answering member 2616 label Biography information for Lord Henley
