EV charging: why now
Electric vehicle infrastructure build is a pressing policy and commercial concern. The European Commission has set deployment targets for the next decade. It wants there to be no more than 60km between each highway charging station. It also wants at least one publicly accessible charging point for every ten EVs in use by 2020. Today just a third of charging points required are in operation
[ Question: We will need 3 to 5 times more charging stations hen gas statuons as recharge time is longer….🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️]
Utilities should think, too, about how EV charging could be integrated with domestic smart meter use, potentially by offering combined tariffs or at least metering and monitoring as a value-added service.
Finally, utilities will need to consider the make-up of, and relationship with, its ecosystem. An EV charging supply chain will include car manufacturers, providers of public transport, city planners, car sharing and ride hailing services, and traffic management specialists. Some of these relationships will feel familiar. Most will not. All will demand IT integration.
