Compatibility with the European Convention on Human Rights Part 2: Electric vehicles: Charging Transmission of data relating to charge points
Section 14 applies following the installation of a charge point and complements Section 15. Section 14 is intended to ensure that there is a continuous flow of data following the installation of a charge point. This data will be of use to persons such as a distribution network operator ("DNO") or the Transmission System Operator ("TSO"). However, it will be important that once data transmission commences it isn’t disrupted or stopped, for example by the operator of a charge point. To build up an accurate picture of demand it will be necessary to ensure an even and constant flow of data. This Section will obligate operators of public charge points to ensure continuous flow of data as described in regulations in a prescribed format. For non-public charge points a person, such as an operator of charge points or some other person responsible for such charge points (though not a domestic end user), could be obligated to ensure continuous flow of data.
	Such an obligation may interfere with the A1P1 rights of the party subject to obligations under Section 14. However, any such interference would be a proportionate means of achieving these aims.
