Over the last decade, electric vehicles have showed a game-changing decarbonization potential, aligned with the EU goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to half by 2030 and reach climate neutrality by 2050. #DriVe2X aims to accelerate the shift to mass electromobility deployment through innovative smart charging techniques and technological advancements in bidirectional charging solutions. 🟢 Watch our presentation video and dive into the project ➡ https://lnkd.in/dPx6Wc3m
About us
DriVe2X will develop new knowledge, tools, models, and technologies to cope with a V2X-based mass EV deployment in the future. It will study and consolidate the understanding of the behavioral uncertainties linked to V2X and develop policy tools to support increasingly complex decisions on V2X roll-out in European smart cities. DriVe2X will implement advanced artificial intelligence techniques that efficiently capture the flexible energy potential from smart charging in building parking lots, homes, and charging stations, and match it with the distribution networks’ localized needs in order to research dynamic marketplaces for exchanging and trading V2X flexibility locally. DriVe2X will develop next-generation slow, lower-cost bidirectional charger units (from TRL3 to TRL7), tested under different use cases in five demonstrators. DriVe2X embraces the EV user’s perceptions and expectations as critical success factors in V2X uptake and upscaling to a mass deployment future. Thus, DriVe2X innovates by inquiring and eliciting the social determinants of V2X, explicitly including it in the development of novel V2X technologies, tools, and solutions. DriVe2X has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and Innovation programme under grant agreement N°101056934.

Thanks for having #Drive2X coordinator Gonçalo Mendes, Ph.D. (w/D.), Senior Researcher, U. Lecturer, PC DriVe2X EU RIA from LUT University among the panellists of session "EV charging - advanced solutions benefiting both the user and the grid", together with eCharge4Drivers, FLOW Project & XL-CONNECT ! 🚗 🔌 We truly enjoyed sharing our intermediate results and diving into the great discussion! #EV #RTR2025 #V2G
Today was a very successful launch of our 8th #RTR2025 Conference. More than 650 participants registered on-site and after speeches from @Rosalinde van der Vlies (DG RTD), Erik von Breska (DG MOVE), Pablo PEREZ-ILLANA (CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency), Christian Merkt (CCAM Association) and Michael Lippert (BEPA - Batteries European Partnership Association) our Chairman Stephan Neugebauer made a very clear call to continue having a strong support to pre-competitive #research and #innovation activities. While results from EU-funded projects cannot always be linked directly to product development, demonstrating impact is key for all of us. Flagship initiatives can play a role by putting research and innovation results, Member States activities and industrial investment together. A good example is the activity put forward to support the emergence reverse factory; curious to hear a little bit more? Tune in for our circularity plenary session tomorrow afternoon ! The first 2Zero session was dedicated to development of advanced solutions for #EV charging to benefit both the users and the grid. eCharge4Drivers, and #EGVI funded project, presented its final results and three #2Zero project (FLOW Project, XL-CONNECT and DriVe2X) also presented their intermediate results. The session led to a very lively discussion, in which, among other topics, the #V2G, impact on battery degradation, cost-benefit for the users, the #DSOs, the #TSOs … were extensively discussed. Thanks to Guido Sacchetto and Christof Schernus for the co-moderation ! Looking forward for another day of discussion tomorrow.

What's the Chicken-and-Egg Dilemma of Electric Mobility? 🐔 🥚 🔋 Find out in the insights from the Conference & Exhibition “Driving Energy Transition in EU: the Role of Electric Mobility” 👇, organised by EV4EU in January and to which #Drive2X contributed as a panelist.
The EV4EU Conference in Lisbon addressed this critical challenge by convening global experts to explore the future of electric mobility and the transition to sustainable energy. Key discussions included: 🔹 SCALE Project – Solving EV infrastructure scaling challenges across seven countries. 🔹 DriVe2X – Real-world bi-directional charging tech in Portugal & the Netherlands. 🔹 FLOW Project – Energy exchange between buildings, vehicles, and the grid. 🔹 XL-CONNECT – Digital twins optimizing energy use and smart charging. Portugal is already leading in renewable energy adoption, but can it also be a model for EV policy and infrastructure? As Hugo Morais put it: "The future of electric mobility depends on interdisciplinary collaboration - regulators, consumers, and developers working hand in hand." Read the full insights from the conference here: https://lnkd.in/dvCvdmAx And read the quick summary in our latest newsletter: https://lnkd.in/dNSYY4Rj #ElectricMobility #EVTransition #EnergyInnovation #Portugal #Tech #EV4EU #SustainableFuture #SmartCities #EV #Renewable
