Description

Even though the old economy of the automotive sector still seems to prefer the combustion engine, many governments have decided to massively promote electric cars. New players are emerging and attracting the attention of the market. Nevertheless, the penetration of electric vehicles is still thin in many regions. Among other things, the session will deal with the question of how electric-mobility can be promoted and which regulatory issues need to be taken into account when setting up and operating charging stations. Is the infrastructure operator, for example, a grid operator or an electricity supplier, or does he only provide charging services? Which effects will the charging of electric cars have to the public grid and how can this be handled by the grid operator? Which technologies are used to set up charging points (eg, usage of street lamps, superchargers) and how can the usage of charging infrastructure be remunerated? Is the operation of charging points a profitable business and are there models in place to use charging stations more effectively (third-party access, e-roaming, etc)?
