Tuesday, April 18, 2023 | 11:00am–12:15pm CEST | Webinar Language: English
In March 2023, Eurelectric together with EY is launching a joint study on “The Six essentials for e-mobility”. This webinar following the launch event will investigate the evolving energy landscape in which e-mobility is booming.
In Europe, 1.99 million new EVs (BEVs , PHEVs) were sold in 2022 with an overall market share of 21%. Adoption is expected to rise based on markets, technological, legislative and economic factors. But there are continued challenges to the widespread adoption of EVs that will become more acute as the number of EVs on the road increases, e.g. clean and green power, accessible charging infrastructure, a smart grid, digitalisation.
Among these issues, integrating EVs with smart grid technology to better manage energy demand appears crucial, allowing EVs to become a resource rather than a challenge to grid stability.
This webinar will investigate the existing ways to increase EV hosting capacity on the grid and ultimately allow for the deployment of adequate charging infrastructure, enabled by a smart grid that allows the two-way flow of green energy and supported by digital technologies that make EV ownership simple, flexible and likeable.
