This pilot phase is expected to run for 2 years.<\/p>\n<p>By the sounds of it, BT and Openreach will be focusing their efforts on street cabinets that are &#8220;<em>currently used for providing copper-based broadband and phone services<\/em>&#8221; (this makes it sounds like PCPs will be the focus, but it&#8217;s actually <a class=\"shortlink shortlink-120 shortlink-chref\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"fttc\" data-chref=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/broadband_cable.php\">FTTC<\/a> \/ DSLAM cabs), and which will be decommissioned as the ambitious nationwide upgrade to full fibre (<a class=\"shortlink shortlink-110 shortlink-chref\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"fttp\" data-chref=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/broadband_fibre_optic.php\">FTTP<\/a>) progresses.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, the idea here is that the operator&#8217;s own staff and engineers will be given preferential access, not only during the pilot but possibly also during the commercialisation phase too (i.e. the public could expect to get access if an Openreach\/BT van isn&#8217;t already parked and using the charger).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>BT&#8217;s Statement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The team will scope a range of different technical, commercial and operational considerations with bringing this EV charge point network online, including:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Technical \u2013 including cabinet location, power availability, customer accessibility, digital customer experience and engineering considerations<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Civil planning \u2013 including location, local council engagement and physical accessibility<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Commercial \u2013 including public funding options, private investment, partnership, and wider financial modelling<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Operational \u2013 as a dedicated BT Group venture or in partnership with others<\/p>\n<p>Etc.\u2019s early projections suggest that, over time, as many as 60,000 of the Group\u2019s 90,000 cabinets may be suitable for upgrades to EV charging points; but neither the trials nor any potential scaling of the new EV charge network would present any change or disruption to the telecommunications services supported from the cabinets. However, decisions on any further scaling on this programme will depend on the success of the two years of pilots.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As we&#8217;ve said before and BT indirectly acknowledges above, this isn\u2019t going to work in every area, since not all cabinets are suitably positioned and there may be other obstacles too (e.g. issues of council approval, road access, physical location etc.).<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, street side chargers need to be kept as small as possible, which means that it would probably only support slower charging speeds (i.e. not super rapid charging). We should point out that a lot of their cabinets typically use no more than a few hundred watts, but the power supply could be upgraded and without needing major works.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Tom Guy, Managing Director of Etc. at BT Group, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With the ban on sales of internal combustion engine vehicles coming in 2030, and with only around 45,000 public charge points today, the UK needs a massive upgrade to meet the needs of the EV revolution. We have a once in a lifetime opportunity to connect for good in a whole new way by innovating around our cabinet infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>The pilots are critical for the team to work through the assessment and establish effective technical, commercial and operational routes to market over the next two years.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Doing all this at the same time as retiring their old copper network seems like a sensible and cost-efficient approach, which could help the Government to grow the number of UK charge points to their target of 300,000 by 2030, which is being backed by a public investment of \u00a31.6bn.<\/p>\n<p>The move would also be good for Openreach, which is already deep into the process of converting (replacing) all of its diesel fleet to electric by 2030, which reflects around 28,000 vans across the UK that are used for essential work every day. Various models from <strong>Renault<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2019\/07\/openreach-trials-100-electric-vans-for-their-uk-engineers.html\">here<\/a>) and <strong>Vauxhall<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2020\/08\/openreach-uk-buy-279-electric-vehicles-from-vauxhall-for-engineers.html\">here<\/a>) have already been deployed, and they currently expect to have just shy of 5,000 EVs by the end of this financial year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In June, we reported on how Openreach were &#8220;exploring whether it\u2019s practical&#8221; to deploy public EV chargers next to some of their 90,000 UK broadband cabinets (here).
