EV CHARGING NETWORKS

Accelerating the Charge Network

The transition to electric mobility depends on one thing above all: reliable grid connections delivered at the pace of network rollout.

Focus Areas Our Capabilities Our Work Our Experts
RECENT FOCUS AREAS
Rapid Connection Assessment
Evaluating grid capacity and connection feasibility across large geographic portfolios of EV charging sites, identifying the fastest path to connection.
Shared Grid Infrastructure
Identifying opportunities to aggregate demand across multiple charging sites to reduce per-unit connection costs and unlock capacity in constrained areas.
Temporary Power Solutions
Deploying fast-track temporary power to enable early charging operations ahead of permanent grid connections, using battery storage and genset alternatives.
Policy and Regulatory Navigation
Working with DNOs and regulators to unlock grid capacity for EV charging corridors and hubs, accelerating connection queue positions.
Portfolio Connection Planning
Developing pan-European connection strategies for large EV charging portfolios, optimising timing, cost, and capacity across diverse network areas.

Connecting the Net-Zero Transport Network

Grid Capacity Assessment
Evaluating available capacity and connection options across large site portfolios to prioritise investment and connection sequencing.
DNO Engagement
Managing proactive relationships with distribution network operators to secure connection offers and accelerate project timelines.
Portfolio Connection Planning
Building site-by-site and portfolio-level connection plans that sequence investment against network availability and commercial rollout targets.
Flexibility Solutions
Designing smart charging and demand response solutions to reduce connection costs and improve grid integration for large charging networks.

Our Work

Case Study

Pan-European EV Hub Connection Programme

Developed and managed grid connections for 42 rapid charging hubs across France, Germany, and the Netherlands, reducing average connection time by 40%.

Portfolio Advisory

Shared Infrastructure Framework for Motorway Charging

Designed a shared substation framework for a consortium of EV operators on a major motorway corridor, reducing combined capital expenditure by £8M.
