LONDON, Feb. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ev.energy, a global software provider of managed electric vehicle (EV) charging, has received funding to scale the UK's first commercially operating Virtual Power Plant (VPP) using only electric vehicles. This funding comes after ev.energy became the first software platform to successfully demonstrate commercially shifting energy consumption from the power grid using only electric vehicles. ev.energy has been awarded an additional £295K, totalling £754K, in funding from Innovate UK, as part of UK Research and Innovation's Prospering from the Energy Revolution programme. The funding will help ev.energy scale its VPP to stabilise the UK power grid and UK energy systems as it adopts EVs and moves away from fossil fuels. The Energy Savings Trust predicts there will be between 8 and 11 million EVs on UK roads by 2030.

Key Points: 
  • This funding comes after ev.energy became the first software platform to successfully demonstrate commercially shifting energy consumption from the power grid using only electric vehicles.
  • The funding will help ev.energy scale its VPP to stabilise the UK power grid and UK energy systems as it adopts EVs and moves away from fossil fuels.
  • The Energy Savings Trust predicts there will be between 8 and 11 million EVs on UK roads by 2030.
  • ev.energy's Virtual Power Plant automatically responded to these signals by pausing electric vehicle charging in areas of Norfolk and Essex where the grid was congested.

When Silicon Carbide is used in the powertrain of an electric vehicle, it delivers a 13:1 energy savings vs. the incremental energy invested, as compared to traditional silicon chips.

Key Points: 
  • When Silicon Carbide is used in the powertrain of an electric vehicle, it delivers a 13:1 energy savings vs. the incremental energy invested, as compared to traditional silicon chips.
  • This analysis quantifies the energy saved over an equipments life cycle vs. the incremental energy used in its production with Silicon Carbide as an illustrative use case.
  • Key findings of the study include:
    Replacing silicon insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) with Silicon Carbide metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) produces substantial energy savings for electric vehicles.
  • The lifetime energy savings from employing Silicon Carbide MOSFETs are many times the incremental energy required to produce these devices.
