It&#8217;s my independent consultancy, advising government, industry bodies and companies across the wider EV industry on electric vehicle policy, including charging infrastructure, consumer standards and accessibility. It&#8217;s also where I work directly with companies and fleets on their decarbonisation journey, electrification is one part of that, not the whole of it, and I help them find the path that avoids the pitfalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside that, I&#8217;m Head of FairCharge, the consumer campaign holding the UK charging industry to account on reliability, billing accuracy, fair cost and accessibility, and I also chair RECHARGE UK, the Renewable Energy Association&#8217;s charging industry forum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before any of that, I co-founded EVA England and served for four years as its Chair, helping build the national body for EV drivers from the ground up. I&#8217;ve spent over a decade decarbonising my own life, driving electric since 2015, and every hat I wear today comes back to the same thing: wanting a better world for my daughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide is-style-wide--6\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What I do<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fleet &amp; Company Electrification Advisor<\/strong>y \u2014 helping companies and fleets plan their move to electric and the wider decarbonisation that goes with it, with an eye on the pitfalls that catch people out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>EV Policy &amp; Regulatory Advisory \u2014<\/strong> advising government departments, regulators and industry bodies on EV policy, from consultation responses to standards development, and helping companies advocate effectively into government and industry associations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Charging Infrastructure Strategy<\/strong> \u2014 helping organisations get charging infrastructure right: reliability, accessibility and rollout that actually works for drivers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Consumer Standards &amp; Accessibility<\/strong> \u2014 bringing consumer-experience evidence and rigorous measurement into technical and regulatory conversations, so accuracy and fairness aren&#8217;t afterthoughts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Speaking, Panels &amp; Facilitatio<\/strong>n \u2014 keynotes, panel moderation and industry facilitation, drawing on frontline experience with EVA England, FairCharge and industry forums like RECHARGE UK.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Network &amp; Introductions<\/strong> \u2014 I&#8217;ve built relationships across government, regulators, industry bodies and the charging sector over the last decade, and I can make the right introduction when a company needs one.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:20%\">\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-duotone-unset-7\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/luciddestiny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/latest-thoughts-thumb-15.jpg\" alt=\"FairCharge logo\" class=\"wp-image-4829\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luciddestiny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/latest-thoughts-thumb-15.jpg 240w, https:\/\/luciddestiny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/latest-thoughts-thumb-15-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-duotone-unset-8\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/luciddestiny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/about-thumb-4-fixed.jpg\" alt=\"Warren Ryan Philips speaking at GreenFleet\" class=\"wp-image-4846\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luciddestiny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/about-thumb-4-fixed.jpg 240w, https:\/\/luciddestiny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/about-thumb-4-fixed-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-duotone-unset-9\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/luciddestiny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/about-thumb-5.jpg\" alt=\"Warren Ryan Philips on an industry panel\" class=\"wp-image-4843\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luciddestiny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/about-thumb-5.jpg 240w, https:\/\/luciddestiny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/about-thumb-5-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-duotone-unset-10\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/luciddestiny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/about-thumb-8.jpg\" alt=\"Group photo at an electric truck charging event\" class=\"wp-image-4851\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luciddestiny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/about-thumb-8.jpg 240w, https:\/\/luciddestiny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/about-thumb-8-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-duotone-unset-11\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/luciddestiny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/about-thumb-10.jpg\" alt=\"Warren Ryan Philips at Westminster\" class=\"wp-image-4853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luciddestiny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/about-thumb-10.jpg 240w, https:\/\/luciddestiny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/about-thumb-10-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Warren Ryan Philips I&#8217;m Warren Ryan Philips, and anyone who knows me will tell you I wear a lot of hats, most weeks I&#8217;m wearing more than one of them.
