es.catapult.org.uk/insight/heat... Gas networks have to plan for cold weather heating demand, but electricity networks don't (yet). Data from 100s of UK homes in our Living Lab shows how electrifying heating makes electricity demand vary in cold weather, and why we need to start planning for this.

🚗⚡ The emerging EV overnight demand peak: how time of use tariffs create herding behaviours as EV adoption rises. At ~50% EV adoption, our Living Lab data shows overnight EV demand will be 2x the current evening peak, so we'll need new ways to smooth out demand. es.catapult.org.uk/insight/the-...
The emerging EV overnight demand peak - Claire Rowland
As EV adoption rises, current tariffs which incentivise consumers to charge overnight are creating new peaks in home electricity demand.

What if homes could have >1 electricity supplier for different uses, like EV charging vs the rest of the home? Would this unlock innovation, & fairer ways to reward consumers for flexing demand? Or just add unnecessary complexity? We’re running a trial to find out: es.catapult.org.uk/project/brea...
