The Plug-in Vehicle Economics and Infrastructure: Economics and Carbon Benefits project is a strategic level analysis of the potential size of the market for plug-in vehicles, the total level of investment needed and the total carbon offset for the UK.
This report provides an in-depth qualitative viability analysis (supported by initial quantitative estimates) of the complimentary revenue streams (to the core business models) that may emerge within the plug-in vehicle environment and their potential contribution to the overall economic viability of plug-in vehicles in the UK. This report should be read in conjunction with the ‘Generic Business Models for Plug-in Vehicle Environment’ report.
Key findings:New revenue streams arising from the integration of vehicles and charging infrastructure could affect the development of the PIV marketDesktop research and information from interviews with industry stakeholders informs the assessment of new revenue streamsOnly one new revenue stream, infrastructure hosting, is likely to significantly impact the development of the PIV marketStrong substitutes and legislative barriers make four of the business models unviableExpected low demand for public charging makes two of the business models unviable
