Electrical Review — The Briefing

This Briefing has ended — watch each session on demand in the agenda below.

UK public charging continues to grow, but the pace and shape of rollout is under scrutiny — especially against 2030 targets and uneven regional coverage. At the same time, regulation is pushing hard on consumer experience and operability: contactless payments, open and accurate data (including OCPI-based requirements), and 99% reliability for rapid networks.

This Briefing focuses on delivery reality: connections and capacity, uptime by design, depot and fleet electrification, interoperability and roaming, and how smart charging can shift load and reduce reinforcement — especially as EVs are expected to become a major source of flexibility.
