Meeting the amibitous goals for e-mobility in Europe requires a more interconnected ecosystem where data can be freely exchanged among e-mobility players to ensure strategic infrastructure planning, cost savings, flexibility and improved charging, Eurelectric demands.
New analysis has revealed that Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) growth in Ireland over the past year has surged ahead of most major European countries. Here are the details:
Northern Germany has been rocked sustainably last weekend. Because once again, a part of the world's biggest metal festival was run on electricity from green hydrogen. A hydrogen bus was also used as a shuttle.
With a pool of 155 electric vehicles, Transnet BW has tested how and with what quality they can provide balancing power. The transmission system operator draws a positive conclusion from the one-year field test.
To integrate EV charging into its in-roof solar system Clearline fusion, Viridian Solar is now presenting a matching system for charging electric vehicles.
From 2025, BASF will fully recycle shredded spent batteries in Schwarzheide. The plant will then recover materials for new lithium-ion batteries, entirely in the spirit of a circular economy.
The electric vehicle market is booming. Last year 681,000 new electric cars were registered in Germany. That means a more than two-fold increase of EV registrations in Germany.
The car becomes a mobile power bank when it feeds electricity back into the grid as needed. Bidirectional charging turns the charging infrastructure into an interface between the mobility and energy sectors. Power2Drive Europe will present Europe's largest range of mobility solutions in the renewable energy sector next week in Munich.
E-mobility in Germany is racing ahead more rapidly than in any other European country. One in three electric cars newly registered in 2021 drives on German roads. The international mobility industry will meet again in Munich at Power2Drive Europe 2022.
By providing fast charging where people regularly park, and removing financial barriers for landowners, Zest is set to drive the mass adoption of electric vehicles in the UK.
For visitors to The smarter E Europe 2021 in Munich, here is something to better orient yourselves. Simply download and save the hall layout to your smartphone.
A new neighbourhood with 42 flats was built in Berlin. The implementation focused on climate protection and low rents as a combination.
When many electric vehicles are charging in company car parks at the same time, it puts an enormous strain on the distribution grid. Together with BN Netze, Fraunhofer ISE has proven that it is actually an opportunity to avoid unnecessary grid expansion.
Innovative lithium metal batteries offer high energy density with good stability. Researchers have now found a promising combination of cathode and electrolyte that remains stable over many charging cycles. These could be perfect for EVs.
According to BloombergNEF battery demand will grow strongly this decade: By 2030 annual demand for lithium-ion batteries will pass 2.7TWh per year. Total annual battery demand in 2030 is 35% higher than in last year’s outlook, largely due to higher demand from passenger electric vehicles.
Solarwatt and the BMW Group are deepening their cooperation by developing "Battery flex", a battery storage system whose battery module uses components that are also used in the BMW Group's electric cars.
BloombergNEF’s latest projection shows electric vehicles as $46 trillion market opportunity between now and 2050. But more policy action is needed to get on track for net zero emissions.
Nearly two thirds of the PV installers in France have now included energy storage solutions in their portfolios according to a recent survey.
With the addition of Mennekes and E-Charge Hardy Barth, photovoltaic wholesaler EWS is expanding its portfolio in the field of charging systems for electric vehicles to include two brand manufacturers.
Electric mobility is clearly gaining momentum. The number of electric cars worldwide climbed to 10.9 million in 2020, up by more than three million from the previous year.
As part of the European collaborative project Hydra, DLR researchers have developed lithium-ion batteries without cobalt. The batteries are currently being tested.
Nearly 1.4 million battery electric cars (BEVs) and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) were registered in Europe in 2020, according to the latest figures from EV-Volumes, the database for information on battery electric vehicles.
The electrification of Europe’s vehicle fleets will be the catalyst for clean mobility throughout the 2020s, is one of the findings of a study by Eurelectric and EY.
Still available for pre-order, the Aptera EV delivers an advanced solar electric vehicle that promises up to 1,600 kilometres of range and requires less charging thanks to integrated solar cells.
