🚍 "Electrifying Canada’s buses isn’t just about acquiring new vehicles; it’s about a complete system overhaul." Canada’s goal to deploy 5,000 electric public and school buses by 2025 is ambitious, but the true challenge lies in creating the infrastructure to support them. From smart charging grids to depot upgrades and renewable energy integration, this transition is about much more than cutting emissions—it’s about reshaping how we power public transit for a sustainable future.

Expansion of public charging infrastructure is crucial to the #zeroemission transition. In this article from Mobility Portal Europe, Drive to Zero Europe Director Sita Holtslag and Program Manager Adrian Serna Tamez share their thoughts on the policies and innovation needed to advance the broader deployment of ZE fleets and enable expanded charging networks. Read on to learn what's creating momentum - including our Global MOU community.

Hi EV addicts, the European Union is significantly advancing its electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, aligned with the climate objectives of the European Green Deal. According to Transport & Environment (T&E), the EU has seen a more than threefold increase in slow charging points since late 2020, reaching over half a million by the end of 2023. Fast charging points have surged by over fourfold in the same period, reflecting a proactive approach to meet the 2030 target of 3 million chargers. >> Particularly notable is France, leading with nearly 120,000 public chargers, closely followed by Germany, which boasts the largest fast-charging network in Europe with almost 23,000 points. Both Spain and Italy have also demonstrated significant growth, enhancing their charging networks to support increasing EV registrations. >> This infrastructure boom has occurred ahead of the enforcement of the Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR), which mandates comprehensive charger deployment along major EU roads by 2024 and ties the expansion of charging facilities directly to the number of EVs registered. >> The rapid development of the EU’s charging infrastructure is not only keeping pace with but now surpassing the growth of the EV fleet, dispelling concerns about potential bottlenecks in EV adoption. This expansion supports the rising number of electric vehicles, contributing robustly to the EU's sustainability targets. >> With strategic policies like AFIR and continued infrastructural growth, the EU is poised to lead in sustainable mobility globally, ensuring that its infrastructure keeps pace with technological advancements and environmental commitments.

EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG hit a landmark achievement with the installation of its 5,000th public charge point in Germany ⚡️ The industry leader is far from done, with plans to install 1,000 more charge points by the end of the year. What's more, all of the installations are fast-charging capable, and run on 100% green electricity. That is how you build a charging network 🔋 Find out all about it down below 👇 #ElectricDrives | #Sustainability | #ElectricVehicles | #EV | #Emobility | #EnBW | #Charging | #FastCharging | #Germany | #EVCharging | #PublicCharging Claus Fest Vanessa Hindinger Alina Burkardt Lars Jacobs Cathrin Lind Asgeir Fridrik Heimisson Sonia da Mota Pereira Manuel Stuhler Juergen Stein Thomas Kusterer Timo Sillober Tobias Motz

Great to attend today’s seminar at DTU on: ⚡e2flex – How willing are EV owners to provide flexibility?⚡ The event presented the first results of the e2flex project, diving into how electric vehicle (EV) owners can contribute to energy flexibility services and the challenges involved. For me, the key highlights were: 🚗 EV owners (and those with heat pumps, home batteries, etc.) are a diverse group with varying needs and priorities. Tailored incentive models are crucial to engage these different target groups effectively. 🐙 There’s no single solution to achieving a resilient, green energy system. Optimizing multiple approaches—such as time-of-use tariffs, distributed flexibility assets, and (maybe) updated regulations—is essential. 🤝 Collaboration across academia, grid operators, and industry is vital. It’s encouraging to see stakeholders working together to accelerate the green transition. While progress since similar studies, like those by True Energy A/S - a Landis+Gyr Company and Radius that I presented in March 2022, remains slow, I left the event with optimism. The collective effort and shared determination among participants are promising signs that innovative solutions are on the horizon ⚡ 🔋 🚗 . Thank you Mads Paabøl Jensen Radius, Christoffer Greisen Hybrid Greentech, Torben Fog Spirii, Claire Bergaentzlé DTU Management, Maj Dang Trong Nordic Energy Research and all the other amazing speakers 😊 Read more about the e2flex project here: https://wind.dtu.dk/e2flex #EV #GreenTransition #Flexibility
