Next Steps Chapters 1 and 2 - Phase One legislation Government will notify the World Trade Organisation of the Phase One smart charging legislation in Summer 2021, ahead of laying the legislation in Autumn 2021. Most requirements within the legislation will be enforceable 6 months after the laying date, from Spring 2022. As they may require more extensive hardware and software changes, the cyber security requirements will be enforced from Autumn 2022. Chapter 3 – Phase Two Government will aim to consult in 2022 on an appropriate regulatory approach for flexibility service providers and other organisations controlling load.
Government will continue to work with industry to explore potential solutions to the cyber security and interoperability challenges ahead of this formal consultation, including via the ongoing work of the EV Energy Taskforce and other industry forums. Chapter 4 – EV Chargepoint data Government intends to take forward further work on exploring whether private chargepoint location and energy data should be shared with specified parties. The Government intends to work closely with Ofgem and stakeholders, including the Electric Vehicle Energy Taskforce, to consider appropriate options for the sharing of this data. 7
