E-Mobility is nearing a critical milestone as Charging Point Operators (CPOs) enhance the electric vehicle (EV) charging experience in the UK.
With over a million EVs on UK roads, the 2024 EV Summit explored how CPOs are tackling new challenges including:
- Expanding the charging network to meet government targets
- Maintaining reliability
- Navigating new regulations set for November 2024
The new regulations require 99% uptime, data reporting, and contactless payments. CPOs are addressing these challenges by leveraging better data for remote diagnostics, improving collaboration with stakeholders, and enhancing customer communication to build trust.
Maintaining reliability is a must for EV charging, and uptime is crucial for both business success and regulatory compliance. CPOs need to be mindful of the importance of uptime and keep an eye out for other factors that can affect reliability such as vandalism and blocked charging bays.
While reliability is vital, it’s important to remember that it’s not always the hardware at fault. Industry-wide collaboration and innovative solutions are necessary to meet the growing demands of the EV market. That is why Konect is pioneering solutions to maximize charger uptime by using advanced software for remote issue resolution.
