The amount of detailed real-time data a smart grid needs to manage the push for electrification and renewables presents challenges – but there’s an affordable solution.
Per capita electricity use was higher in the 1970s than today.
Electrifying transport needs bigger changes than another high-end electric car.
When it comes to eliminating greenhouse gas emissions from transport, the future is already here on small islands.
The year 2030 may not seem far away, but a decade is a long time in technological terms. Widespread automation, electrification, and connectivity are set to revolutionise the car of the future.
Ensuring that everyone doesn’t charge their cars simultaneously will make a big difference.
