Taking part
Eligibility
People need to apply to be trial participants as part of a group of at least ten participants and all applications are subject to eligibility and availability. There is no guarantee of success due to a number of factors such as:
– the type of local substation
– the arrangement of the feeder from the substation
– the suitability of the area for EV recharging
– the electrical condition of the property.
Taking part in the trial is also subject to financial acceptance.
Social trials
If you are unable to, or would prefer not to take part in the ‘cluster’ trials, you may be able to take part in ‘social’ trials, which do not have any requirement to be part of a cluster group, and there are no geographical limitations. Standard rental agreements will apply for the leasing of an electric Nissan LEAF, and participants will have their driving and charging habits recorded. No additional equipment will be installed as part of the social trials. Both of the trials have a limited number of spaces available and will be offered subject to availability and eligibility.
