All proposed home EV charge points from July 2019, will now need to incorporate “Smart” technology to successfully claim the OLEV grant funding.
The move is part of the UK Government’s Road to Zero strategy, and will see home units able to be remotely accessed, and capable of receiving, interpreting, and reacting to a signal.
Smart charging can also reduce high peaks of electricity demands, minimising the cost of electric vehicles to the electricity system – and keeping costs down for consumers by encouraging off-peak charging.
Remark Group are OLEV approved installers, get in touch today to talk about making the change to electric.
