🚛 Accelerating freight electrification in Europe: A path towards cost-effective megawatt charging ⚡️ A recent report by @julia Hildemeier and Andreas Jahn from Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP) reveals critical insights into the costs and challenges of establishing a megawatt charging network for electric trucks across Europe. 📉 Key Findings: 1. High network Costs: Variations in network tariffs across borders could create "charging tourism," where trucks charge only in low-cost regions, risking grid strain and inefficiency. 2. Border disparities: For instance, charging on the Polish side of the Poland-Germany border costs about €13 less per 500 kWh due to lower grid fees, highlighting the need for policy alignment. 3. Utilisation rates: High costs tied to peak-demand charges mean that lower utilization of charging points can lead to unsustainable expenses, especially in early market phases. 🏛 Policy recommendations: 1. Adopt time-of-use network tariffs to reflect true costs and discourage peak-demand surges. 2. Coordinate taxes and levies across borders to balance charging costs and foster a more competitive market. This comprehensive analysis urges policymakers and operators to collaborate for an efficient, affordable charging network that will make Europe’s road freight electrification a sustainable reality. Let’s work together to make this transition seamless, cost-effective, and grid-friendly 🌍 You can read the full article: https://lnkd.in/dppvXdQJ #FreightElectrification #MegawattCharging #SustainableTransport #EnergyPolicy

M³ - Myths of Modern Mobility One of the most important facts for having an idea about the ecological aspects of BEVs are the CO2 emissions of the electric power (consumption) in the local grid. As the CO2 emissions are different from country to country, it is simply impossible to name key figures for BEV e.g. for entire Europe. France is one of the biggest countries in the EU regarding to citizens and shows one of the lowest CO2 emissions per kWh (2023: 53 g/kWh). The very high nuclear share in France is not the topic here. Poland on the other hand, in 2023 still has a very high share of fossile substances as a primary source for the electricity generation. This results in app 800 g/kWh, app. 15 times more then in France. The data behind is from electricitymaps.com. Sometimes rumors are right, sometimes they are wrong. As here.

We had a fantastic time today at the 13th edition of the "Electromobility Roundtable" organized by Regionale EnergieAgentur e.V., hosted by CUBOS GmbH in Wolfsburg. 🚗⚡ Huge thanks to our hosts for the warm welcome and the fascinating tour of your facility! 🔌 We got to dive into some really interesting topics alongside representatives from local counties, cities, and participants from the electromobility sector. Here’s what we covered: 𝗕𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴: Current Developments Presented by Christian Rühe, CTO at CUBOS, who also addressed common misconceptions about bidirectional charging, such as: "The technology isn't mature yet", "It only works in theory", and "The battery will be ruined by bidirectional charging" He effectively debunked these myths but also emphasized that there is still some room for clarification from German legislation. From a technical perspective, it is already feasible to implement bidirectional charging today. 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴: Billing Models and Tax Aspects Presented by René Weidig and Karin Kutz from Appelhagen Rechtsanwälte Steuerberater PartGmbB Rechtsanwälte, who also highlighted that workplace charging remains tax-free, which is fantastic for both employers and employees The discussions were full of great insights, and it’s super exciting to see all of us working together towards the future of mobility! 🚀 We’re looking forward to what comes next for sustainable transportation and electric mobility. 🌱✨ #Electromobility #FutureOfMobility #BidirectionalCharging #WorkplaceCharging #SustainableTransport #Collaboration #Wolfsburg #RegionaleEnergieAgentur #Innovation #EVCharging

Heavy-duty trucks were once considered difficult to electrify. Not anymore. Advancements in battery tech and a high-power charging protocol known as the Megawatt Charging System (MCS) is fuelling the growth of electric heavy-duty trucks in Europe and elsewhere. The MCS is designed for an output of 1,250V and 3,000A. Which corresponds to a charging capacity of up to 3.75MW. By comparison, today’s charging stations with the Combined Charging System (CCS) standard, used by cars and commercial vehicles, offer a maximum charging capacity of 400kW at 500A. For truck drivers, the EU mandates a 45-min break every 4.5 hours, while the US requires a 30-min break after 8 hours. To match the operational efficiency of diesel trucks, electric heavy-duty long-haul trucks must be able to adequately charge during these breaks, which MCS offers. MCS is still being developed, but its potential is undeniable. It will be an ideal choice for electric long-haul trucking and other time-sensitive high-power applications. #ElectricVehicles #MegawattChargingSystem #MCS #ElectricHeavyDutyTrucks #SustainableMobility #ClimateAction

For those seeking early insights into the EV market. Keep an eye on Germany. Minister Habeck's recent announcements suggest that Germany is moving towards an EV incentive scheme for company cars, mirroring the successful incentive schemes of eg Belgium, the Netherlands, and France. These countries experienced a surge in EV sales due to these schemes. https://lnkd.in/eyPQurCB #EV #Germany #ElectricVehicles #Sustainability

When such numbers are shown one gets worried it won’t be on time. Imagine 35,000 chargers at 1 MW….. that’s potential 35 GW peak power demand…. That’s easily 40 power plants. It’s clear that just going electric is not the solution. Especially for trucking (and shipping and air transport) we need sustainable fuels. #sustainablefuels #energytransition

This month, our spotlight is on EV charging, coinciding with its prominence at two upcoming events: The Battery Show Europe in Stuttgart and Power2Drive in Munich. Maximum operational reliability, solid availability, and high performance of the charging infrastructure are essential prerequisites for consistently integrating electromobility into the markets. In practice, this means: the shortest possible charging times and a smooth charging process are mandatory. DC contactors play a central role in the charging process, being used in both charging stations and vehicles. The next few weeks, we’ll be sharing exactly how contactors are ensuring safe disconnection of high powers in the charging station and in the vehicle as well as the importance of bidirectionality. We want to hear from you! What DC charging topics interest you the most? Share your insights and join us in shaping the future of electromobility. #Eddicy #UnlocktheFullDCPotential #EVcharging
