E-Mobility workshop at the Sustainable Places 2020 (video)

On 29^th October, MEISTER has organised and chaired the workshop “E-Mobility” under the framework of the Sustainable Places 2020 conference. The goal of this event was to present and discuss different digital tools, services, and approaches to boost smart electric mobility in cities from different European projects. The Horizon 2020 projects GreenCharge, UserChi and eCharge4Drivers, and the University of the Peloponnese also participated in this session.

The panellist presented how three major barriers for the deployment of electric vehicles in the EU – the high cost of vehicles, the low level of consumer acceptance, and the lack of recharging stations – can be pull down. But also, projects have showcased new approaches and solutions to make e-mobility more attractive for operators to install charging Electric Vehicle Supply Equipments and for potential customers to use this infrastructure.

The 5 speakers concluded that interoperability for charging is an issue that concerns EV drivers all around the EU, also they agreed that the charging experience of the user should be improved, and charging policies based on price incentives and constraints can be used to reshape power load profiles.

Sustainable Places prides itself on being an ideal platform for the dissemination of research, the conduct of workshops, EU project clustering, and networking between stakeholders of all types. SP2020 will be held over four days in a digital event format. Between the opening and closing keynote sessions, parallel technical sessions and project-organized workshops will be held on conference topic areas.
