In November 2020, the UK Government published ‘The 10 point plan for a green industrial revolution’. The plan incorporates electric vehicles (EVs) and backing for the UK’s world-leading car manufacturing bases in the North East, West Midlands and North Wales. The plan aims to accelerate the transition to electric vehicles and to transform national infrastructure required for their support.
In respect of Hydrogen, the Government aims to work with industry to help generate 5GW of low carbon hydrogen production capacity for industry, transport, power and homes. The plan also makes a commitment to develop the first UK town heated entirely by hydrogen before the end of the decade.
With new car and van sales powered solely by petrol and diesel expected to be banned in the UK from 2035, there is a clear and strategic need to accelerate the country’s transition to electric vehicles and to transform national infrastructure to better support their adoption and use. Fuel cell electric vehicles and the use of hydrogen, for transport and also as a domestic fuel, are key components in the drive to tackle climate change.
Most people know someone with an electric car, or at the very least have seen them more often on the road. While adoption is still in its early stages, long-term projections show a rapid increase world-wide. Although statistics may vary, it is generally accepted that the number of electric vehicles globally will grow to around 120 million in 2030, up from an estimated 8 million in 2020.
The Electric Vehicle revolution in particular is being driven by institutions of all varieties. This continuing growth of EVs in the marketplace can essentially be ascribed to several factors, namely, political intervention, Government policy implementation, environmental pressures, growing awareness and of course, consumer preference.
As consumer awareness and preferences continue to grow, governments will set and implement new standards. Technology will continue to evolve with developments and improvements in Lithium-Ion batteries, increases in energy density and price differentials linked to economies of scale.
