Key Messages

Based on an advanced Agent-Based Model fed with telematics data from approximately 2% of Scottish HGVs, plus additional synthetic data, the en-route charging infrastructure needed for all HGVs in Scotland will:

1. Comprise at least 63 en-route charger locations, of which 23 are already built or under development.

2. Experience heaviest usage on the M74/A9 corridors, with the two busiest charger sites needed within an approximate 5km radius of Annandale Water and Dalwhinnie.

3. Require at least 1.3TWh of electrical power.

4. Enable approximately 70% of routes to be completed without additional stops for charging.
