  • EV charging reaches one of the world's most remote communities

    STORY: :: Timbuktu ContentThis could be the world's most remote public electric vehicle charge point.It's on the volcanic island of St Helena in the South Atlantic Ocean.The British Overseas Territory is home to less than 5,000 people... and has only four EVs. The local government wants that to change.Mark Brooks is the island's treasury and economic development minister.“...We want to incentivize people bringing in more electric vehicles. So installing electric chargers, putting in the infrastructure, and then we can work on policies to try and increase the electric vehicle fleet on the island.”The new charging point is part of a trial with Norwegian charging company Easee and Subaru cars to test the feasibility of the island weaning itself off fossil fuels.St Helena is currently reliant on imported fuel, spending 15 percent of its annual budget of about $41 million on diesel for power and transport.St Helena has committed to increasing its wind and solar power generation from 25% to 80% in the next four years… and even further by the end of the decade. Brooks says the island is geographically well-placed to take advantage of renewables. “...We have about 12 hours of sunlight a day almost all year round and because we are a small island in the middle of the ocean, there's always a wind blowing through. So we do have really ideal conditions for solar and wind energy.”Easee's Adam Rodgers says the trial will provide them key learnings. “...The electricians are so far away, the charger is so far away, it allows us to stress test a lot of our systems, be that the data connection to the charger to see if we can fix something so remote."Local car rental company owner Derek Pedley says he plans to bring more EVs to the island to test demand. "We've looked at putting in electric points close to town and also up at the airport for passengers to be able to collect the vehicle at the airport..."The government offers almost zero percent tax on imported electric cars, but with the average wage under $11,000, most EVs are still an expensive luxury.
