Future Electric Vehicle Energy Networks supporting Renewables (FEVER)

    Project Details

    Description

    Working towards meeting the UK government’s 2035 zero-emission pledge, and later 2050 climate goal, the FEVER project concentrates on the design, development, and demonstration of a 100% renewable-powered EV charging station, facilitated by an innovative off-vehicle energy store (OVES).

    This will create a secure, year-round, grid-independent charging solution for EVs. Moving beyond the state-of-the-art technologies, a cost-effective and socially acceptable 'hybrid' OVES will be developed, that is suitable for both urban and rural deployment and use.

    This interdisciplinary project, a Programme Grant funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), unites a diverse team of academic scientists and engineers (mechanical, electronics and electrical, computer science) and social scientists (psychology, economics and management) across four research-led UK universities: Southampton, Sheffield, Surrey and Portsmouth.
