Electric Automobility Europe

Significant advances have been made by automakers and battery developers in electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs). Many governments have highlighted their support of such, in line with the importance of carbon emission reduction, increasing energy autonomy and security of energy supply for their sustainable economies. For electric utilities the vehicle electrification will not only mean new dynamics on grid management, but also opportunities for mobile energy storage, new revenue streams and for many, an emergence of new market models from operating charging stations to new customer value propositions. Cooperation between municipals, electric utilities and automakers is facilitating emergency of a new value chain; opportunities are ample but successful commercial rollouts of green motoring will depend on the availability of EVs & Plug-in Hybrids, as well as the development of electricity charging infrastructure, battery technology, charging standardization, policy frameworks and authorities' support.

 

Can your organisation capitalize on the potential of electric automobility future? Take advantage of this forum - this first-of-its-kind conference aims at providing a platform to gather stakeholders to address issues such as:

 

  • How can policies and regulatory regimes be developed to enable electric mobility?
  • The new value chain of electric mobility - how to facilitate and commercialize the opportunities?
  • How will a functional vehicle charging infrastructure be developed?
  • The Network level charging management
  • The standardization of vehicle charging
  • The implications of vehicle charging and its battery as storage on the power grid, generation capacity and future investment
  • The ownership & operation of charging stations & networks
  • Stakeholder analysis: Who are the stakeholders? The role of each stakeholder in enabling electric mobility to reality
  •  How to increase consumer awareness and which market segment will be most  likely for initial adoption?
  • The automakers' plans and status of electric vehicle delivery to the market
  • The performance and costs development of EVs, Plug-in Hybrids and the batteries
  • How to break the 'no market - no manufacture' deadlock ?
  • Exploring the possible scenarios of electric mobility (market models, charging, payment, battery management, rate of adoption)
