About this webinar

🗓️ Date: Wednesday 24 June 2026
🕙 Time: 10 AM

Organisations moving toward fleet electrification are discovering that the real challenge isn't vehicles or chargers – it's energy. Many depots don't have the electrical capacity required to support large-scale charging, and network constraints are causing delays, unexpected costs, and uncertainty in project planning.

Join our fleet electrification specialists as they unpack the engineering, energy and infrastructure challenges that determine whether depot electrification projects succeed.

This webinar brings together insights from our recent whitepapers and technical blogs to give engineers and planners a clear understanding of how grid capacity, network constraints and depot design shape the feasibility and cost of fleet transition.

We'll explore the realities behind securing electrical capacity, navigating the connections process, and designing infrastructure that is reliable, scalable and future ready. You’ll gain practical guidance on overcoming grid limitations and maintaining project momentum even when capacity is constrained.

What you'll learn

Why electrical capacity is now the defining factor in fleet electrification timelines and cost
How the DNO connection process works and what engineers must understand before committing to design
The engineering principles of grid‑ready depot design including low-voltage vs high-voltage considerations and future proofing
Practical strategies to overcome grid constraints such as phased deployment, alternative routes, private networks, on‑site energy, and temporary charging
Real case studies showing how organisations have unlocked capacity, avoided delays, and delivered scalable infrastructure

Understanding when to engage with network operators, how to assess capacity early, and how to design infrastructure that can grow with your fleet is essential to delivering electrification projects on time and with confidence.

Don’t miss this opportunity to strengthen your technical understanding and equip your organisation for the future of fleet transition.
