It can be much easier to quickly charge an electric car — here's why

While vehicles like the Tesla Model 3 and the Ford Mustang Mach E are gaining popularity, there are still significant challenges in developing a charging infrastructure. Fortunately, a consortium of technology giants has formed to tackle this problem head-on.

The British data communications company is working with Toshiba, Pelion, and Vestel to make radical changes to the UK's EV charging infrastructure. If the pilot project is successful, it will provide a user experience of DCC's smart meter network, leading to a more secure energy grid, greener charging, and reduced consumer range anxiety.

Under government pressure, more and more automakers are offering electric vehicles. In fact, many automakers plan to offer an all-electric vehicle lineup in the next few years. As more and more battery-powered vehicles become available, more attention will be paid to the various charging networks. According to our sister site Techradar, the UK's Data Communications Company (DCC), Toshiba, Pelion, Vestel, and EV charging platform has.to.be are working on a possible solution aimed at increasing consumer confidence in EVs, making the charging experience more uniform, and protecting against cyber attacks. They are working on potential solutions aimed at increasing consumer confidence in EVs, making the charging experience more uniform, and protecting against cyber-attacks.

The involvement of DCC, which operates and manages the UK's nationwide network of over 12 million smart meters, will not only make EV chargers smarter and more standard, but also provide consumers with a more seamless user experience and reduce range anxiety This, in turn, will help to reduce anxiety about EVs. In turn, this could make EVs more accessible to those who are apprehensive about EVs. [In addition, DCC and its partners aim to make the charging process more secure by incorporating end-to-end encryption that will help protect EV drivers' user data and help protect the energy grid on which the charging infrastructure operates from cyber attacks. According to Techradar, the information provided by the smart chargers will allow network operators to maximize the use of renewable energy.

At this time, the pilot operation is in its early stages; DCC and its partners will test various improvements at Vestel charging points installed at DCC's test facility in Manchester, England. This is all aimed at showing how existing technology can be affordably modified and connected to a national charging network.
