Our Chairman Peter Rolton has been featured recently with Business Green, in an opinion piece exploring the rising popularity of electric vehicles and just how widespread the energy challenges associated with them are.
It’s only a matter of time before electric vehicles become a great deal more common on UK roads – the passenger vehicle fleet in the UK accounts for 69% of all vehicles on UK roads and by 2050, it’s predicted that this market will be saturated with electric vehicles – a huge impact with big implications for our ageing National Grid. The energy demands currently met by burning huge quantities of petrol and diesel will instead in the future be taken as electricity from the grid; a colossal change in capacity and load profile demands.
In this article, Peter discusses the vast scale of this technological advancement and how the increasing popularity of electric vehicles in the UK will affect not only the automotive industry, but a wide variety of businesses across all industry sectors.

Working with Dorchester Living, Rolton has developed an ambitious new energy strategy that combines digital innovation, embedded renewable energy, and a clear trajectory towards net zero for their Heyford Park development in Oxfordshire.
This year Centreco, a UK leading commercial solar energy system design, installation and management organisation are exhibiting and sponsoring for the first time and have invited Rolton to partner in providing their thinking and content for two sessions focused on energy and technology, bringing thinking around this topic to the show.
IMPACT Magazine recently featured Rolton Chair, Peter Rolton and our white paper “Powering the 2035 Industrial and Data-Driven Revolution” which calls for the energy and real estate worlds to coalesce to attract the investment for infrastructure the UK needs.
