Cenex is urging hauliers to participate in a crucial survey about shared electric vehicle (EV) charging at depots.
- The survey aims to assess the charging needs of fleet operators as part of a broader mission.
- Innovate UK backs Cenex’s project, exploring shared EV charging feasibility for commercial vehicles.
- Fleet operator collaboration could enhance charging infrastructure at private depots through shared use.
- Participants’ insights will help identify gaps and develop suitable infrastructure accessibility.
Cenex is actively encouraging fleet operators to partake in a pivotal survey that seeks to evaluate their electric vehicle (EV) charging requirements. This initiative is integral to a comprehensive mission intended to explore the potential for developing shared EV charging capabilities at hauliers’ depots. The objective is to enhance the efficiency and accessibility of charging infrastructure through collaborative means.
The project, supported by Innovate UK, is investigating the practicality of facilitating a shared EV charging system for commercial vehicles at private depot locations. Shared charging systems allow multiple fleet operators to utilise one another’s EV charging facilities when not otherwise engaged, optimising resource use.
Involving fleet operators in this survey will significantly contribute to identifying current knowledge deficiencies regarding fleet charging needs. Furthermore, it aims to establish a more refined matchmaking platform to align operators with appropriate charging infrastructure. This initiative is expected to substantially improve the accessibility of EV charging for commercial fleets, fostering a more sustainable transport sector.
Cenex has ensured that the data collected through the survey will adhere to GDPR regulations. Hence, all information will be anonymised unless explicit consent is provided otherwise. This strengthens the project’s commitment to data privacy and ethical standards while collecting valuable feedback from participants.
This initiative by Cenex could play a transformative role in advancing shared EV charging solutions for fleet operators, enhancing both efficiency and sustainability.
