2017年英国的环境显著的改善
插电车(包括纯电动车与插电式混动车)的销量创历史新高
而再生能源的发电量也创了记录
今年到目前为止,EV与PHEV的买家比起以往任何时候都还要多
注册数有22480,这比起2015年同期高出了54%
在此同时,随着风力与太阳能发电价格不断的下降,再生能源在英国也越来越普遍

当买家试驾了一辆平稳、安静、省油(省钱)、干净的新能源车后
这激发了购买欲,也连带促使买家想要把家用能源变的更有效率或是安装太阳能
Go Ultra Low报告显示,6月份共售出4405辆新能源车,这比起16年6月要多出33%
英国的交通部长也说,目前英国路上有超过10万辆新能源车(包括汽车跟货车)
目标是在2050年前让路上的车辆几乎都是零排放的
==============================================================================
英国与台湾同为岛国
虽然不能完全照抄,但有些经验是有很大参考价值的
人家真正做到用干净且比较便宜的再生能源取代传统能源
也积极在推广插电式车辆
当地卖最好的插电式车辆是Leaf,而且很便宜不到三万欧元
虽然效能不是很好,现行款只有搭载30kWh的电池续航力
续航力不到200km
但这样的车款在欧洲还是卖的动卖很好,从2009开卖到现在全球累积销量超过26万辆
主要的原因就是因为政府法令配合推动的结果
虽说台湾很多人是住在公寓或大楼(大楼也能设充电装置)不是那么方便
但还是有更多的人住透天厝,对于这些人来说,设充电装置根本不是问题
另外为什么人家的再生能源价格那么便宜?
我们则是一想到太阳能就是贵?
这是个非常吊诡的问题

UK Plug-In Car Registrations Rise As Renewable Energy Generation Reaches
New High
2017 is showing notable environmental improvements percolating in the UK,
with record highs of plug-in car sales as well as renewable energy
generation records.
So far this year, 22,480 plug-in cars have been registered in the UK,
which means that EV buyers registered more electric and plug-in hybrid
cars during the first half of 2017 than in any previous 6 month period. A
press release from Go Ultra Low adds that this is a rise of 14% compared
to the first half of 2016 and 54% higher than in the same period in 2015.
“The fully-electric Nissan LEAF was the UK’s best selling plug-in car
in the first six months of 2017, while BMW’s plug-in hybrid 3-Series
saloon was one of the year’s biggest growers, rising 79.9% following its
launch last year.”
Renewable energy is becoming more and more common in the UK at the same
time as solar and wind prices keep dropping. Corporations, homeowners,
and even in some cases renters are switching their power sources to
renewable choices.
When you finally test drive a smooth, quiet, fuel-efficient, clean
electric vehicle, you change. That inspires a purchase, and can also
inspire more home energy efficiency and going solar. So, electric cars
help in multiple ways.
Back to the sales figures, Go Ultra Low reports, “June exceeded all
previous non-plate-change months with 4,405 new plug-in models sold
during the month (33% up on June 2016). Demand from private buyers has
driven growth with 44.9% more consumers opting for plug-in hybrid and
electric power between January and June 2017, compared to the same period
last year.”
A breakdown of plug-in registrations across the country is as follows: “
The West Midlands (2,704) Greater London (2,477) and Cambridgeshire
(1,928) topped the list of regions with the highest uptake. Greater
London also saw the biggest year on year increase in counties registering
more than 1,000 plug-in vehicles, with registrations up 68.6% on the
first half of 2016.”
Transport Minister Jesse Norman, said: “It is great to see that electric
and plug-in hybrid cars are helping more UK motorists to cut fuel costs
and emissions. The total number of plug-in cars on our roads is at record
levels, with the latest figures showing that there are now over 100,000
plug-in cars and vans registered in the UK.
“The UK is a world leader in tackling climate change and the Government
is committed to supporting the transition to a low carbon economy and
improving air quality. Our aim is that nearly all cars and vans on our
roads are zero emission by 2050.”
The Go Ultra Low campaign brings renewable energy back into the
discussion as well: “The news comes as UK low carbon energy generation
hit its highest share in 2017, regularly contributing more than 50% of
the nation’s requirement.”
Renewable energy is quickly becoming the cheapest form of electricity
across all G20 nations. The growth will only continue, and even faster if
progressive politicians are elected to lead the world.
CleanTechnica also explored the relationship between EVs and solar panels
in its recent EV driver report. “Across the six groups we surveyed, 28–
40% of respondents said they had home solar panels. This is considerably
more than the approximately 1% of homes in these regions that have solar
panels.”
Survey results from our new EV report. Responses came from over 2,000 EV
drivers across 26 European countries, 49 of 50 US states, and 9 Canadian
provinces. Responses were segmented according to region — North America
vs Europe — and type of electric car — plug-in hybrid vs Tesla vs
non-Tesla fully electric car.
Go Ultra Low is a collaborative campaign and is the first of its kind,
bringing together a consortium of vehicle manufacturers, government, and
the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT). We expect it will
have more positive news before long.
