🔋 EV batteries could do more than power vehicles.

This study shows how V2X-integrated battery management can deliver significant economic value—while highlighting the trade-off between grid benefits and battery lifetime.

We're very happy to be working in collaboration with EVA England @EVAEOfficial & the other UK EV Associations EVA Scotland @EVA_Scotland, & EVA Northern Ireland (EVANI) @nievowners to get your views on what it is like to be a UK EV driver. Have your say at https://t.co/Mx6Mn5WUla

📄 New paper: V2G in airports ✈️⚡

EV ground service fleets can act as flexible grid resources, supporting peak shaving and zero-carbon airport goals.

🧵 Record-breaking day for Great Britain's electricity system! ⚡

1/ On 22 April, we hit a new zero-carbon record, with zero-carbon sources providing 98.8% of our electricity.

It was a worthwhile meeting for all of the Associations, with a key takeaway being that from the choice ofname to the implementation, eVED was not well received, well thought through, or even fully considered against many other policy goals across the UK.

[EVANI - Electric Vehicle Association NI @nievowners]

Earlier this week we met with officials from HM Treasury who are leading the Government's eVED consultation. We shared our analysis of the pay-per-mile proposals and discussed the cross-border driving issues unique to Northern Ireland...

[Dr. Andy Palmer @AndyatAuto]

The good old Daily Mail - claiming EVs deliver “no proven carbon savings” in the UK is seriously misleading.

What the article actually cites is an argument about national accounting visibility — not evidence that EVs emit as much CO₂ as petrol cars.

That’s a huge difference.

“Hard to isolate in aggregate data” ≠ “no savings exist.”

The UK grid has rapidly decarbonised over the past decade. Coal is virtually gone. Renewables + low-carbon power now dominate. That means UK EVs get cleaner every year they’re driven.

Petrol cars don’t.

Extensive lifecycle research — including analysis reflected by the UK’s Climate Change Committee and global assessments from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change — shows EVs typically produce substantially lower total emissions than equivalent petrol/diesel cars in countries like the UK.

The Mail article doesn’t show evidence that a typical UK EV has equal lifetime emissions to a petrol car — because most peer-reviewed studies show the opposite.

It reframes uncertainty about measurement scale as proof of “no benefit.”

That’s not how evidence works.

Are EVs perfect? No. Battery production and supply chains matter. Grid mix matters. Policy design matters.

But claiming “no proven carbon savings” contradicts the broader body of lifecycle science.

Debate policy by all means — just don’t let a headline blur the underlying evidence.

Calling EV drivers. Make opinion on road pricing known! https://t.co/PnfDjDBNlD

Such an obvious use case, one that we have advocated for. All credit to The Electric Lobster Fisherman, this epic to see. https://t.co/bjTTJ3jseR

@AldiUK Winter is coming, and Dalgety Bay store has been cold all summer. If it's uncomfortable this early in the season as a customer, it's going to get miserable for the staff when the cold hits. When are you going to fix the heating, it's been months!

Calling members and EV drivers. The @GEVAlliance survey is open. Make yourselves heard!

While we can agree that EVs should pay VED, an intelligent phased transition with EVs paying less than all Dino juice burners is key. Maybe a different set of increments based on weight, encouraging different battery sizes and vehicle design?
