Slimme Britten gaan al hun nieuwe huizen met slimme laadpunten voorzien, minimum 7 kW. Soort bouwverplichting ofzo.
... miljoenen EVs kunnen dan ook dienen als energiebuffer van hernieuwbare stroom.

New homes in the UK could all be fitted with electric car charging points in the future, as the UK government has outlined a number of EV-supportive proposals in a public consultation on England’s building regulations.
The UK is promoting the legislation as the first of its kind in the world as it moves to increase electric vehicle adoption. Sales of new petrol and diesel cars are set to end in the UK by 2040, and there’s been talk about moving that deadline up earlier, to 2030 or 2035.
The government is also looking for all “newly installed rapid and higher powered chargepoints” to offer debit or credit card payment options by spring 2020.
Transport Secretary Chris Grayling said of the proposed home charging initiative:
“With record levels of ultra-low emission vehicles on our roads, it is clear there is an appetite for cleaner, greener transport.
Home charging provides the most convenient and low-cost option for consumers – you can simply plug your car in to charge overnight as you would a mobile phone.”
The government looks to prioritize smart charging for all new private EV chargers, as well. A recent study by UK energy system operator National Grid ESO outlined a scenario that would see 35 million EVs using smart charging technology to store large amounts of renewable electricity by that time.
The full proposal for home charging points details that:
We propose specifying that the chargepoints must have a minimum power rating output of 7kW, be fitted with a universal socket that can charge all types of electric vehicle currently on the market and meet relevant safety and accessibility requirements.
In addition to the home charging requirement, other recommended policy positions include:
The government proposes every new non-residential building and every non-residential building undergoing a major renovation with more than ten car parking spaces to have one chargepoint and cable routes for an electric vehicle chargepoint for one in five spaces.
The government proposes a requirement of at least one chargepoint in existing non-residential buildings with more than 20 car parking spaces, applicable from 2025.
The UK is aiming for net zero emissions by 2050, and electric vehicles are seen as a major key to hitting that target.
