UK ISP BT<\/a> and its digital incubation team, Etc.<\/a> (that is their actual name), has this morning kicked off the first pilot of an Electric Vehicle (EV) charger that has been repurposed from one of Openreach<\/a>’s old street cabinets, which was “traditionally used to store broadband and phone cabling<\/em>“. Up to 60,000 more could follow.<\/p>\n

BT<\/a> originally announced last July 2023 that the first phase of their EV charging pilots (here<\/a>) was planned to begin in Northern Ireland during the Autumn of 2023. But clearly that didn’t happen and instead the 2-year pilot programme will finally get underway this month.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Openreach<\/a>’s FTTC<\/a> cabinets tend to only serve their hybrid fibre broadband services, while Primary Connection Point (PCP) cabinets were more focused on phone services (though some do carry G.fast<\/a> broadband too).<\/div>\n

Etc. has today confirmed that its “first installation location<\/em>” will now be in East Lothian<\/strong> (Scotland) instead of N.Ireland, with further pilots to roll out across the UK in the “coming months<\/em>“. The proposed plan could eventually see BT<\/a> and Openreach<\/a> “convert or upgrade<\/em>” up to 60,000 street cabinets<\/strong> (from a potential pool of 90,000). The operator previously clarified to us that the focus here is on their FTTC<\/a> (VDSL2<\/a>) \/ DSLAM broadband cabinets, rather than PCPs.<\/p>\n

The charging solution works by retrofitting the cabinets with a device that enables renewable energy to be shared to a charge point alongside the existing broadband service with no need to create a new power connection. EV charging can be deployed to cabinets that are in-use for current copper broadband services, or in those due for retirement, depending on the space and power available to the unit. Once the cabinet is no longer needed for broadband, as nationwide full fibre rollout progresses, the broadband equipment is recycled, and additional EV charge points can be added.<\/p>\n

The move supports the UK Government’s ambitions to increase the number of EV charge points from 53,000 today to 300,000 by 2030. Access to charging is currently creating a significant barrier to EV purchase for many. BT Group\u2019s recent research found that 60% of people think the UK\u2019s EV charging infrastructure is inadequate, with 78% of petrol and diesel drivers saying not being able to conveniently charge an EV is a barrier to adoption.<\/p>\n

Tom Guy, Managing Director, Etc. at BT Group, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOur new charging solution is a huge step in bringing EV charging kerbside and exploring how we can address key barriers customers are currently facing. Working closely with local councils in Scotland and more widely across the UK, we are at a critical stage of our journey in tackling a very real customer problem that sits at the heart of our wider purpose to connect for good.<\/p>\n

This is a key step in our mission to build products and services right now that work for the future, with positive transformation at the heart.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The idea here is generally that the operator\u2019s 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\u2019t already parked and using the charger). The original announcement similarly said that the first pilot location would initially only be open for use by their staff, but that will change as more are added.<\/p>\n

As we\u2019ve said before, 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.). Likewise, street side chargers need to be kept as small as possible, which means that they’ll only support slower charging speeds (up to 7.8kW<\/strong>). We should point out that a lot of their cabinets typically use no more than a few hundred watts, but the power supply can be upgraded and without needing major works.<\/p>\n

Focus of BT’s EV Charging Pilot<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Through the trials, Etc. will scope a range of different technical, commercial and operational considerations with bringing this EV charge point network online, including:<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Technical<\/strong> \u2013 cabinet location, power availability, customer accessibility, digital customer experience and engineering considerations.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Civil planning<\/strong> \u2013 location, local council engagement, permissions and physical accessibility.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Commercial<\/strong> \u2013 public funding options, private investment, partnership, and wider financial modelling to establish a route to commercial benefit for the Group.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Operational<\/strong> \u2013 as a dedicated BT Group venture or in partnership with others.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Doing all this at the same time as gradually retiring their old copper-line based network in favour of full fibre (FTTP<\/a>) infrastructure seems like a sensible and cost-efficient approach. 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 Renault<\/strong> (here<\/a>) and Vauxhall<\/strong> (here<\/a>) have already been deployed.<\/p>\n

However, it remains unclear how much BT will charge consumers to fill up their EVs, which is somewhat of a contentious issue given the high price of electricity right now and the tendency of some EV charging networks to charge astronomical sums (this does vary, some are much more affordable). The number of chargers they end up deploying may also depend, at least in part, on how much public subsidy they can access from key government schemes (around \u00a31.6bn<\/strong> of public funding has been committed up to 2030).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
