Introduction

Optimise Prime has gathered data from\nover 8,000 electric vehicles (EVs) driven for commercial purposes through three trials. The project also implemented a range of technical and commercial solutions aiming to accelerate the transition to EVs for commercial fleet operators, while helping GB\u2019s distribution networks plan and prepare for the mass adoption of EVs. The project aimed to reduce the impact of EVs on\ndistribution networks and ensure security of electricity supply while saving money for electricity customers, helping the UK meet its clean air and climate change objectives.

Methodological Approach

The project consisted of three trial\nworkstreams (WS):

\n\n\n\n

The trial period for WS3 began in August\n2020, with WS1 and WS2 trials commencing on 1 July 2021. All trials concluded\nat the end of June 2022.

\n\n

Optimise Prime is sharing the project\ndatasets by making them publicly available to the wider electricity, fleet and PHV industry to optimise their vehicle electrification plans. Distribution Network Operators (DNOs), academics\nand interested parties will be able to utilise this anonymised data created by\nthe project for further research, analysis and forecasting. Along with the\ndatasets, an introductory document is available below. It provides information\non the content of those datasets, guidance on how to interpret each data field\nand instructions on how to access the data.

\n\n

Over the course of the trials, the\nproject has collected and analysed data from a wide range of sources in order\nto carry out a wide range of experiments. The key datasets collected and used\nin analysis are available here. These includes:
