The rapid move towards electric modes of transportation in the UK brings tremendous opportunities to modernise the country's electrical infrastructure according to Ali Khan of Vestel.
"We need smarter systems that do more than just deliver electricity," said Ali Khan of Vestel, speaking at the London EV Show
Khan, who is head of EVC sales & business development UK at the EV charging and battery technology company, said in the presentation at the London EV Show that the migration is not just about EVs but future-proofing the infrastructure.
He highlighted four areas of focus in terms of infrastructure: increased grid capacity, decentralised energy generation, load balancing and optimised charging schedules.
Commenting on load balancing Khan said: "We need smarter systems that do more than just deliver electricity.
"Electrical upgrades will also be needed for higher-powered chargers and this will require grid enhancements and future proofing of charging networks. We need to do this together as an industry."
