Energise Network is creating a network of rapid electric vehicle charging stations across the South East of England to help businesses transition to electric vehicles. The network will integrate existing public charging infrastructure and provide new rapid chargers within 1-2 miles of major roads that can charge electric vehicles to 80-90% within 30-40 minutes. This will help businesses overcome range limitations by allowing longer trips. The document discusses how establishing this charging network and encouraging businesses to switch to electric vehicles can help reduce emissions and air pollution while potentially saving businesses money over traditional gasoline or diesel vehicles in the long run.

What is the network?
•Energise Network is creating a network of
rapid charge points across the South East of
England, covering Kent, Surrey and Sussex.
•The network will provide charging points to
enable people to extend their electric and
hybrid vehicle journeys. Allowing people to
travel beyond the normal 100 mile range.
•The network will provide the charging
infrastructure for businesses and the public to
look at electric vehicles as a serious transport
option for the future.

Why develop the network.
•Help provide infrastructure to assist in the uptake of zero/ultra-low emission
vehicles in the UK.
•Reduce emissions of CO2.
•Reduce air pollution.
•Improve local air quality.

Rapid Charging
•The network will integrate existing public charging stations in the SE and link
to other networks across the UK and EU.
•This will enable drivers/businesses to extend the range of travel, by having
frequent and rapid re-charging facilities.
Rapid chargers will:
•Re-charge eV’s within 30-40 minutes.
•Extend journeys by 80-90 miles.
•Publically accessible to all eV’s (incl. Tesla)
•Within 1-2 miles of most Mways/A-roads
•PAYG

Charging points: Supply Typical time*(20-30kW)
•Slow 3kW (AC) 16- 24 hrs
•Fast 7kW (AC) 4 – 6 hrs
•Rapid(Quick) 50/22kW (DC/AC) 30-40mins (80%)
•Super (Tesla only) 80 -100kW (DC) 30 -90mins

Connectors/plugs:
• 13A /Type 2 - domestic/slow charge
• ChADEMo/CCS/Type 2 - fast/rapid/super
Batteries*: 10, 22, 30, 50, 85kW
Capacity, % required and delivery method(AC/DC) determines time to re-charge

Why electric?
Government provides Plug-in Vehicle grant which reduces the initial cost.
This provides a subsidy of:
•25 % = up to £5,000, towards the cost of an electric car
•20 % = up to £8,000, towards the cost of an electric van

Why electric?
Running costs:
Plug-in cars offer a number of potential savings compared to conventional
vehicles:
•A full charge will cost approx. £2 to £3 = typical range of 100 miles.
•Driving 100 miles in a petrol/diesel car will cost around £12 to £18.
•Plug-in vehicles are currently exempt from Vehicle Excise Duty (road tax).
•For company car drivers, there is zero 'Benefit in Kind' company car tax
•For drivers in London, plug-in cars are eligible for a 100% discount from
the London Congestion Charge, worth up to £2,400 a year. London ULEZ
(2018/20) exempt will also save £12/day = £4,380 (central London).

What businesses would consider electric vehicles?
Typically businesses:
•Which do regular routes and mileages under 80 miles/day.
•Frequently back-to-base/satelite offices for re-charging.
•Pool-car scenario.
* Rapid chargers will now extend ranges and not limit ad-hoc journeys.
What would you need:
•Suitable eV or hybrid
•Charging point at business (+ home)
•Join eV networks (in your region)
