Join the Electric Vehicle Charging Competition Briefing Sessions

Two competitions are being announced by The Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) and Innovate UK.

 

Phase one, a feasibility study, opened on 9 July and will close on 29 August.

A total of £40m is being made available for EV competitions.  The first two opportunities are feasibility studies for the following two areas:

·      Electric vehicle (EV) charging for public spaces

·      Wireless electric vehicle charging for commercial users

 

KTN is hosting a briefing event on 12 July in Manchester where you can hear more about the scope for this competition and the application process.

The events are ideal for:

•          large, medium and small companies

•          research organisations and universities

•          Local Authorities

Any part of the supply chain could also be involved, including but not limited to:

•          automotive

•          energy
