The global transport sector is undergoing a paradigm shift, transitioning from a century of reliance on the internal combustion engine to an electrification-led future. Driven by both decarbonisation and energy security, this movement presents the most significant challenges and opportunities for modern energy infrastructure. The proliferation of electric vehicles (EVs), including passenger cars, commercial fleets and public transport, has created a large and highly dynamic new demand for electricity. The uncontrolled, large-scale integration of EV charging, especially high-power DC fast charging (DCFC), has the potential to put unprecedented pressure on local distribution grids, potentially leading to transformer overloads, voltage instability and the need for costly infrastructure upgrades.
