The Electric Vehicle Centre of Excellence (EVCE) at Cardiff University is a multi-disciplinary centre that is unique in academic electric vehicle (EV) research teams.
The EVCE offers a multi-disciplinary collective approach to understanding the impact of electrification on the future of mobility and the future of the industry. The EVCE addresses this complex challenge by conducting fundamental research, working with industry and other stakeholders.
We work on key transformative issues such as vehicle autonomous control, wireless charging of electric vehicles (dynamic charging on the road), user and traveller behaviours, and the modelling of transport systems, smart grids, energy demand scenarios for EVs, regulatory options, and consumer barriers and incentives. The EVCE demonstrates the strength, quality, and commitment of collaborative research within the area of sustainable transport at Cardiff University.
EVCE brings together experts from Cardiff University School of Engineering, Cardiff Business School’s Centre for Automotive Industry Research (CAIR), School of Computer Science and Informatics, School of Geography and Planning, and the School of Psychology to investigate and help address the remaining barriers to the widespread introduction of electric vehicles.
The centre has 10 core members and more than 20 associated members with a large network of researchers and PhD students. The members of the centre already received more than £20M for projects covering the electric vehicles research area, charging infrastructure, battery recycle, autonomous vehicles, analysis of the economic and business model innovation of future automobility and £8M for projects covering Smart Grids area.
Read about our work in this report from the National Centre for Universities and Business that showcases how collaborations between our universities and businesses are helping to meet COP26’s ambitious goals.
Research
The barriers preventing the widespread introduction of electric vehicles are often not just technological ones, but can be due to regulations, user or potential user attitudes.
There are also potential barriers due to the new relationships along the value chain that these new technologies bring with them. These include the transition needed within the existing automotive supply chain. The future of existing suppliers less secure (e.g. valves, pistons, camshafts), while new suppliers are not necessarily used to working with automotive clients (batteries, traction motors, ICT). But they also go beyond the conventional automotive supply chain where links with energy suppliers are now increasingly valued, while the move towards connected and autonomous vehicles also creates the need for new relationships and partnerships.
All three participating Schools have a track record in various aspects of the EV value chain, including areas such as smart grids, energy demand scenarios for EVs, regulatory options and incentives, consumer barriers and incentives.
All three Schools are among the top ranking in their disciplines in the UK, the Schools of Psychology and Business in the top ten, while in global rankings, the Business School was recently ranked within the top 100 and the School of Psychology in the top 40.

Professor Peter Wells has commented on reports that Hyundai is set to partner with Apple on the production of 400,000 self-driving electric vehicles. Amidst other partnerships rumoured with Tesla, Volkswagen and Chinese automakers, Wells said: “Which car manufacturer will be the first to ‘succumb’ to Apple becoming a foundry manufacturer, this is the biggest problem.” (12365 Auto; HX2 Car; Guba; East Money; Shanghai Securities News; Sina Finance) January 2021
Professor Peter Wells has commented on California-based startup Archer’s partnership with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Archer’s set to pursue volume production of its passenger eVTOL aircraft together with FCA’s supply chain and manufacturing expertise. “That expertise, in terms of being able to go into what is probably primarily an aerospace supply chain and kick it into shape, so to speak, to meet automotive-style standards and requirements I think will be a valuable asset,” Wells said.

Professor Peter Wells has commented on the potential difficulties Apple may have in entering into the auto industry. Of the Technology company’s former relationship with car manufacturer BMW, he said: “BMW used to work with Apple for a while, but then it went nowhere. I think luxury brands can hardly work with Apple, partly because the corporate culture is so different. It is very difficult for two major brands to launch a product or service together.” (Zing News) February 2021
Professor Peter Wells has commented on motor power in electric vehicles. He said: “As is usually the case with ‘premium’ technology options in the automotive industry, we can expect a rapid transfer to the mass market arising from competitive pressures. In some cases, manufacturers have designed-in the ability to migrate from 400 volt to 800 volts as costs fall and as competitiveness comes to require such systems.” (DRIVEMODE; Youris) February 2021
Professor Peter Wells ha commented on Apple’s plans to create an Electric Vehicle. He said: “Making cars in large quantities is a real challenge that the tech giants will not want to face alone. It takes a lot of time and a huge amount of investment to be able to create a car model, not to mention a factory, building supply chains and distribution networks.” (ICT News; VietBao; NDH) February 2021
