LEVEL – Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure7th March 2018, Pride Park Stadium

“Once or twice a week, while we sleep, the car is charged right outside our home” Adam, Westminster resident

Residential ChargingChallenges facing Local Authorities

Residential charging provides a different set of challenges to those of charging at motorways, supermarkets or the high street:

› Requirement to provide convenient charging points for residents

› Traffic Management Order (TMO) required for designated electric vehicle charging spaces

› Complaints from non EV residents at loss of spaces from general parking supply

› Planning permission for a designated charging cabinet with a meter (cost, street clutter, length of time to install, reading issues with meter, etc…)

› Location of charging point relevant to resident’s home

› Stranded assets if resident moves / sells car

Ubitricity has developed a solution for residents with electric vehicles & on-street parking

The residential solution.Why not utilise more of what is already there?

3

› Most councils already have suitable street lights where residents live and want to charge

› Residents want convenient charging, the street light outside their house becomes their home charging, on-street…

› Significantly reduces costs to the council

› Can be installed in under one hour

› Minimises / avoids additional street clutter

› Eliminates need for reserved bays (if desired)

› Utilises existing unmetered supply, no need for additional metering, MPANs, etc…

› All energy billed directly to ubitricity from day one, not the local council

Affordable.Scalable.Convenient.

SmartCable

EV drivers now bring the billing technology with them whenever they want to charge.

All charging transactions are itemised and billed monthly, the exact same principal as a mobile phone.

Residents will have competitive choice of their mobile electricity provider.

› Contains European MID approved meter

› Has a sim card for communication to the cloud

› Has option for working in areas with no mobile reception

› Vehicle connection can be Type 2 or Type 1

› Will work in passive mode at non ubitricity charge points (no need for multiple cables)

› Can see consumption details online or on ubitricity app

› Compatible with standard charging infrastructure (IEC 61851-1 Mode 3)

On demand approachTo reserve or not reserve…

› Each resident typically has three SimpleSocketsinstalled, without the need for reserved bays

› SimpleSockets in any area can be viewed on the ubitricity app (iOS and Android)

› As more residents in a road request SimpleSockets, they begin to benefit from a cluster / mesh network effect

› In Wavendon Avenue in Chiswick for example, this has resulted in virtually every column being fitted with a SimpleSocket

› Residents using the very first installations at one end of the street generated the interest from residents further along the street

› Of course we are more than happy to work with reserved bays if the council prefers (some looking at a mixture of reserved and not)

Choice of energy supplier

› As of November 2017, OVO Energy became the first green electricity supplier to offer Kensington & Chelsea residents its energy through a branded ubitricity SmartCable

› In future other suppliers will also offer this service allowing residents a truly competitive choice of energy providers

› Suppliers will benefit from being able to offer customers a home + EV car offering, as well as future smart charging capabilities (vehicle to grid, etc…)
