When you think of roadblocks to EV adoption, vision-challenged automakers, uneducated dealerships and SUV-loving consumers make for convenient culprits. However, in many parts of the world, arcane technical and political issues also present major challenges.
In the UK, a technical issue having to do with the electrical grid is emerging as a limitation on home charging, especially as EV battery sizes and charging speeds increase. To summarize the issue in layman’s terms, faster charging requires more power, and in much of the UK the residential power supply isn’t designed to deliver the amount of juice required to refill a modern EV in a reasonable time.
The new energy research and consulting company recently released a report that explains why Britain’s predominantly single-phase residential electricity supply puts it at a disadvantage. Compared to other European countries such as France, Germany, the Netherlands and Norway, EV owners in many parts of the UK are limited to slower home charging speeds. For example, nearly 75% of German EV drivers can charge at home at rates of 22 kW or higher, whereas only 20% of British drivers have access to the same power levels.
