With energy demand set to climb as consumers switch to EVs in the run up to the UK ban on the sale of new ICE vehicles in 2030, software developers are harnessing the power of AI to track and optimise energy consumption.

As the transition continues, however, the impact on the grid is expected to become much more significant.
