1. Methodology
Introduction

Today Europe faces one of its main challenges, how to shift from fossil fuel mobility to
electric one. Hitherto initiatives did not go down well with European drivers who are
deeply concerned about climate change but the current offer is not reliable at all
according to their expectations. Many improvements have been made, though their
implementations are still far from what it is expected.

Range anxiety is one of the main factors that hold back drivers from making the
purchasing decision. While there are approximately 131,000 petrol station network in
the EU tanking over 230 million cars in 2-3 minutes, there are only 10,869 charging
stations (AVERE, 2012). Moreover most charging stations are irregularly and randomly
distributed, mainly in large urban areas which coverage is invisible to costumers eye.
Planning a route from town to town entails a real adventure.

As a matter of fact, EV drivers demand a new business model since they have different
needs. For instance, it is common that drivers tank their internal combustion engine
(ICE) vehicles before starting a trip in the petrol stations located in the citys entrances.
This is unthinkable for an EV driver to stop for charging its vehicle during five hours or, in
the best situation, 30 minutes with DC charging stations. Thus there is no doubt that it is
necessary to develop a new business model according to the new scenario.

In this regard, EV-CONNECT roadmap aims to develop a strategic roadmap, in


collaboration with key stakeholders, with the purpose of shifting from the current
random and isolated charging infrastructure to interconnected charging networks
based on market demands.

Research Methodology

2. Rationale for intervention


Many countries and regions such as Europe, Japan and US have set ambitious targets
for accelerating the uptake of EV. However, which are the main advantages of the
development of the EV? The following outlines the main reasons why the development
of the EV is strategic for Europe:

1) The principle advantage of EV is that zero-emission at point-of-usage will play a


relevant role for reducing air pollutants and noise in urban areas.

2) If the introduction of the EV is linked to the usage of renewable resources of energy,


the life cycle air quality impact is greatly reduced.

3) EV batteries could be used for storing energy generated by intermittent resources of


energy such as wind or solar.

4) There is great potential for providing power cost savings to electricity consumers
through use of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and Vehicle to Home (V2H) energy storage
and discharge applications, and to decrease peak power demand from the grid.

5) Reduced reliance on imported oil based fuels. According to IEA, in 2011 Europe
relied on foreign imports to meet over 54% of its energy needs making it the worlds

Co-funded by the European Union

EV CONNECT PROJECT www.ev-connect.eu

biggest importer. The EU oil imports alone reached USD488 billion (Electric Vehicle
Initiative, 2013).

6) Development of new manufacturing capability and capacity.

7) Change in Mobility behaviours, understanding Mobility as a Service (Maas).

8) Currently, EVs adoption is relatively low in Europe (Global EV Outlook, 2013). EV trials
currently do not have more than thousands of testers.

EV CONNECT PROJECT www.ev-connect.eu

3. EV charging Ecosystem
The mass adoption of EVs requires the creation of complex ecosystems of technologies
and services. This implies that representatives of automotive industry, electricity and ICT
should have to redefine its strategic positioning and consider building new cross-
industry alliances. However, up-to-date the business model about the charging
infrastructure remains unclear for the following reasons:

The role of Car Manufacturers and energy utilities is unclear. For instance, it is not
clear if utilities will assume the role of installing and maintain charging stations or if
Car Manufacturers will produce them. For instance, Nissan sells its own Home
Charging Systems.

The future of mobile operators in the EV environment is still uncertain. While there
are several opportunities, the market for operators is still at a nascent stage. There is
still a lot of vagueness and abstractness on the services that they can develop and
the way it should be modelled. While this is not a major challenge, it is an initial
difficulty that operators have to overcome.

The low penetration of smart metering at home hampers the deployment of bi-
directional energy exchange grid-to vehicle and vehicle to grid as well as limits
the electric utilities monitoring capacity.

New regulatory certifications and standards could limit the entrance of new players.

Higher capital expenditure will be a heavy burden for independent players with low
market capitalization.

Risk aversion to new disruptive innovations could slow the development of charging
systems. For instance, inductive charging with no wires or connections represents a
significant safety improvement and would probably share the same segment than
DC charging companies.

The different regulations and requirements between countries will difficult the
geographic expansion of the companies.

Potential buyers are likely to expect several services for free.

According to the different interviews done by the consortium (see section 1), the EV
ecosystem could be divided into 5 different domains [3][6]:

1) Electric Utilities Domain involves activities ranging from generating and distributing
energy to billing the end-user for consumption.

a. Resources: renewable energies sources like solar, wind or biomass, among


others. However in some countries the electricity that they need to satisfy the
consumption of their EVs comes from the fossil fuels. One example is China,
where the park of EV pollutes more than the internal combustion vehicles
because the 90% of its electricity is from coal [Tennessee].
b. Electricity Producers: companies that generate electricity and inject it into the
transmission or distribution systems before delivered to the end user.
c. Transmission System Operators (TSOs): companies that carry electricity from
the production centres to the distribution system, doing the building and

Co-funded by the European Union


11
EV CONNECT PROJECT www.ev-connect.eu

maintenance of the transmission system. They operate at high voltage to


reduce losses.
d. Distribution System Operators (DSOs): companies that deliver electricity to the
points of consumption, doing the building, managing and maintenance of
the distribution system. They operate at medium or low voltage.
e. Energy Retailer: the function of the retailers is to sell electricity to the final
consumer. Electricity producers and suppliers can be the same entity but not
necessarily. A supplier can also be a wholesale customer or independent
trader who purchases electricity and resells it within the system (Green
eMotion, 2012).
f. Regulators: the Administration of each state and the commissions that it can
create for regulating the energy market. In the case of Spain these agents
are: the Administration of Spain and the National Commission of Energy
(CNE).
g. Operators: entities that ensure the correct function of the market and the
electricity physical systems.
i. Electric Market Operators: these operators manage the wholesale
market of the electricity. Such as all markets, the market of electricity
allows the purchase and sale of electricity between the different
agents (producers, costumers, retailers) a known, transparent and
accessible price [OMEL]. They play an important role related to
charging infrastructure because they fix the cost of the energy that is
the main resource of this type of business. In the Iberian Electricity
Market this role is played by OMEL.
ii. Electric System Operators: these operators are constantly ensuring
that the electricity systems functions correctly. Their work is to
guarantee the security and quality of the electricity supply. In Spain
this role is played by Red Elctrica de Espaa who also plays the role
of the transmission agent.

2) Charging Infrastructure Domain comprises all services ranging from manufacturing


the charging stations to setting up the physical infrastructure and managing the
delivery of energy through the network of charging stations.

a. Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) Manufacturers: companies that


manufacture and sell charging stations (hardware). New entrances, OEMs
companies and electrical companies could play this role.
b. Charging Infrastructure (CI) Operators: companies who install and manage
the operational reliability of the charging infrastructure.

3) OEMs Domain comprises all activities associated with the design and production of
EVs ranging from selling to maintenance, operating and up to the end of its life cycle.

a. Electric Motor Manufacturers: electric motors producers. The EV


manufacturing industry and the regulators are in the key position. With the
support of both, the ecosystem can exist, without it, the ecosystem will die.
b. Component Manufacturers: external companies that produce some pieces
of the vehicles.
c. Battery Manufacturers: vehicle batteries producers. Battery suppliers seem to
fit to the role of value adding dominator, since their technology represents

Co-funded by the European Union


12
EV CONNECT PROJECT www.ev-connect.eu

the key piece of the EV. However, their dominance potential is still restricted
for the limitations of the technology.
d. On-Board Unit Operators: provides access to the car data (e.g. routing,
remote diagnostics) and operates the on-board unit.
e. EVs Manufacturers: companies that assemble all parts of the vehicles to
produce EVs.
f. EVs suppliers: shop retails attendant to the sales of EVs.

4) ICT Domain includes software and the infrastructure needed to communicate E-


Mobility Customers, CI Operators and E-Mobility Service Providers. This domain will
connect all the actors of the EVE and facilitate the exchange information.

According to [Green eMotion D3.2] the ICT Domain will consist in a virtual B2B
environment for e-mobility related services, accessible through the internet and
hosted in a cloud environment. They have developed the Marketplace Concept, an
open platform with common standards and protocols and well defined interfaces.
The Marketplace will permit the exchange information between different partners
and the interoperability of the process for billing.

It represents a common Virtual Domain where all business partners in the eco system
may offer their EV services that can be bought by any business partner.

a) Marketplace Business Operator: it runs and manages the marketplace business-


wise.
b) Marketplace Technical Operator: it offers the technical core platform and
guarantees the basic services that are required to run the open platform.
c) Clearing House Operator: it offers business services which enable roaming
processes for charging EVs by multiple CI Operators and provides validation
services for roaming regarding contracts in the EVE. A Clearing House simplifies
roaming relationships, moving from a bilateral roaming to a multi-lateral roaming.

d) Metering Operator: According to [Eurelectric 2013], it is the party responsible for


metering duties allowing a consumer to purchase electricity on the supply market
through the distribution grid.
e) E-Mobility Service Providers: they offer e-mobility services to the end customer,
such as charging services. E-Mobility Service Provider will use the Marketplace to
establish B2B relationships with their partners and B2C relationships with the E-
Mobility Customers.

5. E-Mobility Customers Domain involves the customers of EVs and the all services that
they need after their sale. There are three customer segments.

a) Entity Customers: they re-sell services to end-customers, such as car-sharing or


parking operators.
b) Assigned Customers: they sign a contract with an E-Mobility Service Provider.
c) Particular Customers: EVs and EVSEs customers.

6. Regulators Domain: includes public or private organizations interested in promoting


and regulating the uptake of the EV.

a) Standardization Entities: how we can see in the ANNEX - Interviews one of the
main problems in the development of the EV infrastructure is the lack of
standardization of the charging infrastructures. Standardization entities will play
an important role in the EVE.
b) Government/Policy Markets: they are the main participants during the early
stages of EV development. Their role is the provision of incentives to promote EVs
and the infrastructure investment.

7. Transversal Domain includes players that are involved with different activities of the EV
ecosystem.

a) University & Research Institutes: technology developers that are specially focused
in improve the efficiency and the life-cycle of the batteries. One example is
EURECAT Technology Centre that has a Battery & EV Laboratory where works in
Cell Cycling (benchmark testing, quality control, life expectancy, driving cycle
reproduction), Cell Modelling (BMD development, range simulation, intelligent
thermal management) and Final battery pack testing (product validation, UNE-
ECE, ISO, IEC standard and approval testing) [EURECAT Lab].

Co-funded by the European Union


14
EV CONNECT PROJECT www.ev-connect.eu

b) EV and EVSE Associations: public or private associations that impulse the uptake
of the EV.
c) Environmental Associations: they awareness in the population about the
consequences of the excessive pollution and help to promote the EV. Also they
control that the manufacturing of EV and EVSE will be respectful with the
environment.
d) EVs Aggregator/Integrator: a system integrator that is proposed to be a key
operator for the ecosystem. The integrator can be one of the existing players, an
entirely new one or a combination of both. One example of this role was Better
Place, which after implementing the first modern commercial deployment of the
battery swapping model in Israel and Denmark, later filed bankruptcy in Israel.
The EVs aggregator/integrator is driven by regulators and
integrating/coordinating the roles of the main actors in EVE [Zulkarnain].
Nevertheless, if they are moving too early and the EV manufacturers are not
ready for up-scaling EV business, the manufacturers can easily block these efforts.
e) Battery Recycling Companies: according to the EV-CONNEC experts in the, the
life expectancy of EV battery is around 7 years, after this period the battery is
useless for the mobility but it could be harnessed for a second life for another
applications like the solar storage energy. This fact represents one opportunity for
new business models that can offer this type of service: recycling batteries and
advising of applications for the second use.
f) EV Fleet Operators: according to [ISO_IEC 15118-1], this player is a person or
legal entity operating several EVs and may have contracts with electricity
providers.

4. Product Segmentation and emerging concepts


4.1 Types of Vehicles

Presently, there are three categories of electric vehicles available in the market: battery
electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids, and what are commonly referred to as hybrids. Each
offers consumers different advantages and disadvantages, although all deliver fuel
cost savings.

Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) are vehicles powered solely by electricity stored in
onboard batteries (without the support of a traditional internal combustion engine) that
could be charged into the National Grid or, on a limited number of models by battery
swapping. According to its battery capacity, range and power EV could be classified

Table 6 Commercial EVs (Elaborated by EURECAT)

Another EV is the Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV). These vehicles have two
complementary drive systems: a gasoline engine and an electric motor. Both the
engine and the electric motor can turn the transmission at the same time, and the
transmission then turns the wheels. HEVs cannot be recharged from the electricity grid
all their energy comes from gasoline and from regenerative braking.

Most HEV are mid hybrids and cannot operate in electric only mode. However, some
strong or full hybrids such as the Toyota Prius can operate in electric-only mode over
a very short distance.

The Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is a vehicle that features a larger battery than
a HEV and is therefore able to be recharged via the National Grid and operate over a
short distance in electric-only mode. However, the battery is smaller than a BEV so a
conventional petrol engine and fuel tank is employed to extend the range.

4.2 Classification of batteries

The Electrically Rechargeable Storage System, which is a key element of the traction
system of electric and hybrid (especially plug-in) vehicle, can be classified on the basis
of its functional performance, energy efficiency, thermal requirement, use
dependability (recharging, self discharging, maintenance and safety), cost and life
cycle impacts on energy, environment, materials, and recycling.

Present technologies of electrochemical storage systems

The Lead-acid accumulator, based on the electrochemical couple Pb/PbO2, with


interposed electrolyte solution of H2SO4, is presently the most diffused type for the
electric traction.

For the present applications various types are commercially available, with positive
electrode either flat or tubular and with gas recombination, either with gel electrolyte
or micro porous separator, which do not require water refilling.

The Alkaline Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cd) and Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) batteries are
applied to electric and hybrid vehicles: the Ni-Cd was especially used in France due to
specific energy which is higher than Lead-acid; presently, they are less considered,
mainly for to management, manufacturing and after-use problems due to the toxicity
of Cadmium (specific European Directives give prescription on this matter).

The trend is to substitute them with Ni-MH batteries, with different design for electric and
hybrid vehicle applications (more energy or power performance oriented).

The battery Sodium-Nickel metal Chloride (Na-NiCl2) also known as Zebra is a


derivation from the previously developed Sodium-Sulphur battery. For the cell operation
the sodium must be liquid, at a temperature of 250 290 C.

For vehicle application the cells are included in a thermal insulating package, in which
also a resistor is provided for the thermal conditioning.

The battery is particularly indicated for the missions demanding a frequent utilization,
with regard to the thermal management of the battery itself.

The Lithium batteries are presently widely considered, developed and already in use for
the electric vehicles, due to their high specific performance.

In the lithium batteries a variety of electrodes and electrolyte materials are in use; this
gives development to various electrochemical couples and to a range of products,
which are presently commercially available or in the phase of advanced development.

The most prominent technologies for automotive applications are lithium-nickel-cobalt-


aluminium (NCA), lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC), lithium-manganese-spinel
(LMO), lithium titanate (LTO) and lithium-iron phosphate (LFP).

Each combination has distinct features in terms of specific energy and power, life cycle
span, performance stability against temperature and cost.

of the position of the different types of technology with respect to the various parameter features

Future trends for Electrochemical Storage Systems

The predominant solution for battery electric vehicles will be predictably in the area of
lithium batteries, with possible choices among the various types explained above, to be
done according to the relevant technology consolidation and technical-economical
criteria.

In the lithium technology area, it is likely that also the solution with lithium metal could
be further developed in relation with the advantage of the all solid state technology
and the flexible flat shaping for vehicle integration.

The main drawback of the lithium batteries, besides some concern about safety and
criticality of the system management, is the cost.

For some applications a range not exceeding 100 km could be considered


appropriate. Other less costly battery approaches could be considered.

In this view, some previous approaches could be reconsidered and further developed.

This could be the case of the nickel - zinc battery. The electrochemical couple Ni-Zn,
with alkaline electrolyte, has been considered for long time one of the most promising
storage systems for electric vehicles due to the good specific energy (up to 80 Wh/kg),
the large availability of the reacting materials, in contrast environmentally friendly, and
potentially low manufacturing cost. Various prototypes have been equipped with this
type of battery. The problem encountered was the low cycle endurance, due to
solubility of zinc in the electrolyte and the not uniform re-deposition on the electrode
during recharging, causing zinc dendrites formation and consequent perforation of the
interelectrode separators, with cell short circuit. The development of new separators

Co-funded by the European Union


20
EV CONNECT PROJECT www.ev-connect.eu

and the introduction of appropriate additives to the electrodes and to the electrolytes
have afterwards brought to a partial solution of these problems.

For Hybrid vehicle application, the predominant solution will be predictably the Ni-MH
battery. However, especially for plug-in hybrids, the lithium solution is likely to take
place, with design approaches especially appropriate to balance power and energy
performance, according to the mission requirements for the specific vehicle
application.

Attention will be predictably given to the use of supercapacitors, as storage systems


featuring limited specific energy (up to 5 Wh/kg), but high specific power (over 4-5
kW/kg), high charge-discharge efficiency and high cycle life (over 500,000 charge-
discharge cycles). The supercapacitors can be used in addition to the battery, with
appropriate electronic DC/DC interface, with the purpose of increasing the power
capability of the storage, reducing the stress of the battery in the high power delivery,
with benefits for the endurance and better regenerative braking capability. A
particularly appropriate use of supercapacitors could be for hybrid system application,
where typically the operation is characterized by high power peaks and frequent
cycles acceleration braking.

4.3 Electricity Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE)

A diffused mobility system needs an appropriate infrastructure support for energy supply
and an adequate relevant organisation.

For EVs the infrastructure should be constituted by a distribution of recharging facilities,


which should be made available in the location and the timing according to the needs
of the operational mission of the vehicles.

Typically the battery charging should be performed overnight, after the daily operation
of the electric vehicle and in the time frame of best availability of electricity production
from the electric power plants. However some mission could be compatible with interim
daily, eventually partial, charging (biberonnage) during vehicle stops.

The development of the infrastructures for battery charging is alredy in progress, under
the initiative of electric Utilities and governmental or regional Authorities.

As an example, in some italian cities, as Milano, Roma and Torino, the installation of
charging facilities has been initiated, upon initiative of the electric Utilities ENEL and A2A
and the Municipalities. Demonstration programmes have also been started, for
validation of the energy supply facilities, with fleets of electric vehicles managed by
selected users.

Installation of charging facilities have also been done for instance in Switzerland, by
dedicated organisations as Alpiq, Protoscar and Greenmotion.

In France, in particular in Paris, upon initiative of EDF various recharging points have
been installed at the parking lots. Systems with inductive charging have also been
studied and demonstrated, e.g. Tulip and Praxitel, based on guided positioning of the
vehicle on an electrically activating platform, to interact magnetically with a
corresponding receiver on board, upon command of the user.

A similar system is presently in operation in a public transport GTT line in Torino. A


magnetically activated power transfer is performed during the daily service of the
electric bus for a duration of some 15 min, at given points of the bus line, for a partial
charge biberonnage of the battery.

21
EV CONNECT PROJECT www.ev-connect.eu

In UK, charging points have been established in towns and also on motorways: A
network of 15 charging points The Electric Highway connects London, Bristol, Exeter,
Birmingham, Liverpool and the Lake District.

In Barcelona (Spain), the Live Platform (Barcelona Council) started a project in


collaboration for the installation of 23 fast charge points in triplet format (CHAdeMO +
Menneke+CCS), compatible with all electric vehicles sold today was presented.
Thirteen points will be located in the urban area of Barcelona, property of the
Municipality, and the other ten, will be located in the metropolitan area.

In USA the Car Charging Group, a provider of EV charging service, is planning to install
charging facilities in several sites, as Santana Row in San Jose (California), Bethesda
Row in Bethesda and Town Square in Rockwille (Maryland), Pentagon Row and The
Village at Shirlington in Arlington (Virginia).

The establishment of the infrastructures has to be complemented by the definition of


the procedures for safe and ergonomical recharging operation. This aspect is since
many years object of study by the international Standardisation Bodies IEC, ISO and
SAE, and by the European Organisms CEN and CENELEC.

At the present, four charging modes for electric vehicles are defined in international
standards (IEC61851-1):

Mode 1 a.c. charging from a non-dedicated electrical socket-outlet (up to 16A per
phase)

Mode 2 a.c. charging from a non-dedicated socket-outlet (up to 32A per phase),
making use of in-cable control box providing supplementary protection
arrangements

Mode 3 a.c. charging using dedicated accessories and incorporating the control
pilot function with additional protection functions as well as ampacity control (e.g.,
SAE J1772 and IEC 62196)

Mode 4 d.c. charging (using technology such as CHAdeMO)

There are also three types of connection cases (A, B, C) which can be used just in some
modes causing more confusion in the market:

Case A, where the connection cable is fixed to the vehicle

Case B, where a separate cable is used, fitted with a plug on the wall side and a
connector on the vehicle side

Case C, where the cable is fixed to the charging station. This case is usually adopted
for fast charging where heavy cables are used.

Accessories for charging are defined in the international standard 62196-2 for a.c.
accessories and 62196-3 for d.c. accessories.

For a.c. charging, the following types are defined:

Type 1 - single phase vehicle coupler (32A) - reflecting the SAE J1772/2009 automotive
plug specifications

Co-funded by the European Union


22
EV CONNECT PROJECT www.ev-connect.eu

Type 2 - single and three phase vehicle coupler (up to 63A) - reflecting the VDE-AR-E
2623-2-2 plug specifications

Type 3 - single and three phase vehicle coupler equipped with safety shutters (up to
63A) - reflecting the EV Plug Alliance proposal

For d.c. charging, the following types are defined:

CHAdeMO: d.c. coupler with additional pins for communication

Combo: d.c. coupler integrated with Type 2 (or 1) a.c. coupler, allowing dual use of
vehicle inlet for either a.c. or d.c. charging

The use of Type 2 connectors with commutable pins for combined use (either a.c. or
d.c.) is under consideration.

According to their location, charging stations could be also classified as follows:

Home charging: Vehicle charging at users residences, such as in the garage,


driveway, and at apartment complexes, as well as street residential spaces.
Generally, it is expected to be slow charging (Modes 1 and 2) and can be used to

Co-funded by the European Union


23
EV CONNECT PROJECT www.ev-connect.eu

charge EVs overnight. Home charging takes eight to 12 hours for complete battery
charging.

Semi-public charging: Vehicle charging at workplaces, including indoor/outdoor


office garages, commercial complex parking garages, and others. Semi-public
charging is expected to be mostly slow charging (Mode 2). There could be some
fast charging (Mode 3) stations, which take two to three hours for a complete
charge.

Public charging: Non-residential and non-workplace charging, including on streets,


private garages, and supermarket garages. Public charging is expected to be a
combination of fast charging (Mode 3 and 4) and rapid charging (Mode 4/DC
charging) for quick top-ups of battery power. Charging at this level takes only a few
minutes.

4.4 Emerging Concepts for EV Charging: Inductive Charging and


Battery Switch Station

Wireless inductive charging systems

The inductive charging is the method of recharging a battery without connecting it to a


charging station. This process uses magnetic forces to transfer electrical power from a
transmitter to a receiver without the use of cables or connections [4].

For recharging the battery of an electric car, a transmitter could be built under a
road surface. The receiver on the vehicle will consist of a steel plate underneath the
car, which will be connected to the cars battery. Current implantable road
electrification devices achieve more than 75 per cent transfer efficiency at an
operating distance between the transmitter and receiver of less than 10 cm to 30
cm.

This way of recharging is much easier and more convenient than wired charging.
EVs could be charged anywhere cars are parked and without cables and plugs,
making it much safer. In the unlikely event of contact, the high frequency used (10
kHz to 40 kHz) would not cause electrocution.

This technology is already used for mobile phones, smartphones and, currently,
even a Wi-Fi game console can be recharged through Inductive Charging.

The energy transfer by induction concept was initiated in the past and deeply studied,
addressing the intention of make available a more user friendly charging procedure.
Experiments were performed at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel for charging electric vehicles
by making use of frontal transmitters to which the vehicles should approach.

Experiments were performed at the VUB (Brussels) to analyse the impact of electrical and
mechanical parameters of the system, as current frequency, air gap, efficiency, EMF
aspects.

Experimental application and demonstration of this kind of approach were done with
the system Praxitel and Tulip in France.

Inductive charging systems are presently in use, for example in the GTT electric bus in
regular service in Torino, which perform battery recharge within some 10 min stop, as
range extension with respect to the basic charge in the depot overnight.

More recently, a new technique of energy transfer by magnetic flux has been

Co-funded by the European Union


24
EV CONNECT PROJECT www.ev-connect.eu

developed, via magnetic flux through resonant primary and secondary circuits. This
technique allows the energy transfer with larger air gap and a larger flexibility for miss
alignment of transmitter and receiver, while keeping a good energy efficiency and
magnetic flux radiation in the normative limits.

Fig. 6 shows the coupling parts on board and on ground of a resonant circuit energy
transducer system for electric car.

Charging electric vehicles basic procedure, for energy rational utilization, should be at
home, overnight, at the most opportune off-peak period for the energy production, and
consequently, more economic.

Also in this circumstance the user is advised about the most recommendable time slot,
according to grid situation.

Battery swapping

It is a method in which the depleted batteries are exchanged for fully charged batteries
with an automated process. For replacing the battery of an electric car, a battery switch
station should be built.

The EV will have to go through tunnel similar to a carwash, where the robotic arms remove
the depleted battery and replace it with a fully charged battery. The system is more
convenient than plug-in charging.

EVs could swap batteries in any battery switch station, which will take approximately
three minutes. The driver need not leave the car as the process is automated and the
car automatically rolls over a conveyer. There are battery switch stations built in Europe
and Japan. In China, battery switch stations are being encouraged as they will decrease
the use of DC charge station due to load fluctuation and its effects on the grid.

However, at the present there are several limitations that hamper its development:

Limited availability due to high installation costs. To accommodate all types of


batteries, it is an expensive proposition compared to the rate of return.

Battery switch stations have yet to study the market behaviour; therefore, sustainable
business model is yet to evolve.

Battery switch stations have to be updated due to technological advancements in


batteries and vehicles.

The location of the battery will not be the same for all vehicles, therefore, a challenge
to install the appropriate machinery.

Car manufacturers are reluctant to stimulate this model because battery is crucial for
the performance of the vehicle and an element for differentiation. Standardized
batteries could limit the design and performance of the vehicle. At the moment, only
Renault Fluence ZE has the option.

4.5 Standards related to the EVSE

EVSE Systems are presently under study to give support to the driver for making an
effective use of the charging infrastructure facilities. These studies are carried out
cooperatively within CEN-CENELEC and ETSI (OEM consortium), based on vehicle to
infrastructure communication.

The figure hereafter shows the interactions of the entities involved in the system vehicle
infrastructure with the indication of the Standardisation Bodies dealing with the
standards relevant to the different areas of operation.

Figure 6 Standards related to the various areas of the vehicle infrastructure system (EDF, 2013)

In 2010, CEN, CENELEC and ETSI established a Focus Group on European Electro-
Mobility which produced in October 2011, as reply to European Commission Mandate
M/468 (charging of electric vehicles). These entities were requested to develop
European standards in order to:

a) Ensure interoperability and connectivity between the electricity supply point and the
charger of electric vehicles, including the charger of their removable batteries, so that
this charger can be connected and be interoperable in all EU States.

b) Ensure interoperability and connectivity between the charger of electric vehicle- if


the charger is not on board- and the electric vehicle and its removable battery, so that
a charger can be connected, can be interoperable and re-charge all types of electric
vehicles and their batteries.

c) Appropriately consider any smart-charging issue with respect to the charging of


electric vehicles.

d) Appropriately consider safety risks and electromagnetic compatibility of the charger


of electric vehicles in the field of Directive 2006/95/EC (LVD) and Directive
2004/108/EC (EMC).

Co-funded by the European Union


27
EV CONNECT PROJECT www.ev-connect.eu

ICT Systems are also under study to give support to the drivers to make an effective use
of the infrastructure facilities. The concept of this Road Co-operative System is to
establish an intelligent telecommunication network among vehicles and infrastructure
to give information to the user about the location of charging spots (conductive or
inductive, fast charge or eventually quick battery drop), the opening hours,
reservations, accepted payment facilities. The studies are conducted, upon the EU
Mandate M/453 in co-operation CEN CENELEC ETSI (Consortium of automotive
manufacturers).

4.6 Vehicle: grid interaction

The infrastructure system can be considered and work as bi-directional energy


exchange grid-to vehicle and vehicle to grid in order to get the maximum benefit
in the management of the global energy in terms of availability and time opportunities,
addressing the use optimization of the primary energy sources.

The electric power network should be complemented by an IC (information and


communication) network vehicle-infrastructure, to supply the user with all the
indications concerning the approach to charging station and implement the energy
exchange.

For the near medium term the interaction driver/vehicle - grid could be envisaged
with respect to the electric vehicle charging or, more generally, energy exchange with
the infrastructure in rationally organized way.

An Electric Infomobility Management (EIM) Center should be envisageable in


connection with already existing Information and Communication system regarding the
traffic control and management.

On the basis of the state of charge of the battery and in consideration of the mission
plan requirement, the driver can propose to the EIM a battery charging ,or battery to
grid energy restitution.

Based on grid power situation a cost-based energy exchange can be planned and
authorized.

The driver can be informed about the nearest available charging station and a route
guidance can be given to approach the charging station.

An automatic vehicle positioning can be envisaged based on the technology


available techniques for the opportune user friendly procedure to implement the
energy exchange.

The energy exchange procedure can start after the driver consensus and relevant
accounting is implemented.

A possible user friendly procedure to be developed in the future can be the wireless
energy exchange vehicle- infrastructure.

28
EV CONNECT PROJECT www.ev-connect.eu

4.7 Standards related to energy exchange grid to vehicle

The Standards constitute a fundamental tool for the technology development, as


guideline in the technical approach, for safety assurance and for establishing common
methods for performance evaluation and operational procedures.

This is, in particular, basically important in relation to the vehicle grid, to establish a solid
basis for safety and interoperability of the technical solutions.

The standards related to the physical relation vehicle grid postulate the establishment
of a parallel standard body for the communication and management of the operation
vehicle/driver infrastructure.

The setting up of standards for conductive charging has started long time ago with the
work of IEC and CENELEC at the international and European level (and CEI at national
level in Italy) and in parallel by ISO and CEN at international and European level (and UNI
at national Italian level), supported by important work of harmonization, also with respect
of SAE and UL standards.

The inductive charging technique was conceived also long time ago, since years 80s
and standards were defined as support to systems developed in that period, based on
manual operation.

More recently a considerable interest has been arisen for the wireless charging power
transfer grid to vehicle, supported by the concept of user friendliness and safety.

The development of a body of standards has been initiated for wireless power transfer
(WPT) and for the supportive communication-information network, Standards for
Conductive Charging and Wireless Power Transfer, existing and under development are
reported in Annex I.

5. ICT requirements in EV infrastructure


The suppliers, charging network owners, and EV drivers have initial ICT requirements to
deploy and use the EV charging networks. In the second phase of ICT demand when EVs
become more common, additional investments will be required to integrate EVs into
smart grid and transportation systems.

The areas of operation of ICT can be outlined as the following [4][5]:

IT Mobility Platforms: These are used to maintain and control charging stations. These
facilitate remote management by providing information concerned with usage of the
station, charging traffic, user authentication database, and consolidated billing
statements.

The common features available with these systems are outlined below:

Charging Station Management: Back-end systems analyse information received


because of communication between charging stations and the control centre. These
are valuable to charging station owners, who can use these systems to monitor
stations, analyse data, manage faults, track usage, calculate bills, and generate
reports. This helps facilitate smart charging facilities.

IT platforms: IT platforms are also useful for enabling roaming models for EVs. A
roaming model refers to an EV's environment where drivers can charge their vehicles
even when they are outside the boundary of their registered stations. B2B
marketplace is a pilot project involving IT platform providers such as IBM and Siemens
that aim to develop a billing solution for EVs roaming models.

Software Systems: These are Business/Operations Support Systems (B/OSS). These


enable charging station hardware to identify users (depending on the authentication
system), communicate information to the control centre, and process customer
billing.

Identification Software: Charging stations are installed both in private and public
spots. In the case of public charging stations, it is safe to restrict usage to specific
persons who have registered or subscribed for the service. Many charging stations
use RFID technology to identify its customers. Many IT platform offerings are also
equipped with software containing the database of all the registered users for the
service. When the RFID device is waved in front of the reader, the customer is
provided access to the charging stations.

Customer Portals: Charging station owners/operators also provide portals to their


customers. These may offer several features such as available times, reservation
systems, price for peak and off-peak times, and billing summaries. These services are
also provided to end users in the form of mobile apps. This is a customer-facing portal,
which, therefore, has the added requirement that it has to meet minimum user
friendliness. For example, the customer portal must be accessible via common
mediums such as Web, mobile phones, and apps and even the in-car display screens.
There is significant amount of integration with owners' enterprise systems for user
information and with drivers' personal mobility devices.

Portal Solutions: The information collated by these systems is made accessible to users
through different portals. The charging station portal is used by the operators to
understand key statistics about the charging facilities. These platforms also provide
customer portal solutions that EV drivers can use to check charging station statuses,
make reservations, and track bills and payments.

EV CONNECT PROJECT www.ev-connect.eu

Payment and Authentication: Currently, the EV infrastructure market mainly uses RFID
technology for authentication and payment at charging stations. This involves the
use of RFID-enabled cards that are issued for members of a charging station, which
simplifies authentication and payment processes. There is also large scope for the use
of SMS, NFC tags, QR codes, and mobile apps for authentication and payment,
which are emerging trends in this industry.

User Interface: Customer portals and payment apps are examples of some existing
methods used to improve customer experience in the EV market. In pursuing further
expansion in the EV market, ICT participants will increasingly focus efforts on
developing attractive and interactive user interfaces for EV drivers. Improved user
interface is essential to improve customer experience, thus encouraging uptake of
EVs.

Connectivity: ICT providers also enable connectivity between the charging stations and
its control centre. Connected EV is a concept that is gaining popularity in the automobile
market. This will help create communication links between the EV driver and the charging
station. Depending on the parties to be connected, the options of connectivity are
varied. There is consideration that connectivity in an EV charging infrastructure could be
done on Power Line Communications (PLC) or wireless or cellular. For EV drivers, the
connectivity being considered is usually wireless or cellular because of its ubiquity.
However, for drivers' authentication at the charging pole, there are considerations of a
variety of communications technology that includes Radio Frequency Identity (RFID) and
Near Field Communication (NFC).

Integration with Smart Grid: As the number of EVs and charging station networks
increases, there is a need to develop an organised system to manage the distribution of
electricity. It will be important to differentiate peak and off-peak prices and
communicate this price differentiation to consumers to distribute the load on the grid.
Utilities will need to increase their ICT investments to incorporate intelligence into their
hardware, which can help ensure efficiency in operations. The smooth working of most
of the systems mentioned above depends on the establishment of smart grids and smart
meters. This also requires the inputs of several ICT providers.

Smart Home: Developing vehicle to grid functions and integrating the EV into the home
energy management system also provide opportunities for software providers and
mobile and broadband operators.

Integration with Transportation Systems: In cities or communities where there is already an


intelligent transport system (ITS) and when EVs reach sufficient mass, it becomes
necessary to integrate EVs as part of the overall transportation system. The potential for
big data and analytics can be attractive, especially when considered within the context
of a smart city deployment.

6. EU policies and strategy for EV development


This section reports the principal action lines and initiatives of the EU for the
development of infrastructure for electric vehicle recharging and for electric vehicle
promotion.

The European Commission is very interested and involved in the development of a


strategy plan aimed at the diffusion of the electric vehicles, within the consciousness of
the benefits for the environment and for the energy, that they can introduced for the
social wellbeing.

The following shows the main standardization mandates, regulations, directives and
initiatives launched by the European Commission that could accelerate the
introduction of the EVs:

(1) Standardization Mandates

The Standard Bodies CEN and CENELEC, responsible for the European Standards
relevant respectively for vehicles and electrical systems, have received a mandate
from the EU/EFTA (Mandate 246) to coordinate standards and actions, in support to
Electric Authorities for the development of an infrastructural system to assure the safe
charging of the electric vehicles in the EU Member States, with the interoperability of
plugs and vehicles. In 2010 an Electric Vehicles Focus Group has been established in
Europe, for coordinating the implementation of the EU mandate.

A further Mandate 490 EC has been addressed by EC to CEN, CENELEC and ETSI for
the standardization of Smart grid functionalities, aiming at the definition of:

o A technical reference architecture, which will represent the functional


information data flows between the main domains and integrate much
systems and subsystems architecture.

o A set of consistent standards, which will support the information exchange


(communication protocols and data models) and integration of all users into
the electric system operation.

o In this context, CEN CENELEC issued a draft mandate in support of the


implementation of the proposal for a directive on the deployment of
alternative fuel infrastructure (electric supply, hydrogen supply and natural
gas supply), intended to be submitted to the EU Parliament for a first reading
in April 2014.

(2) Regulations

Regulation No 2015/45 of 14 January 2015 amending Directive 2007/46/EC and


Commission Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 as regards innovative technologies for
reducing CO2 emissions from light commercial vehicles.

The Horizon 2020 framework programme, established by Regulation (EU) No


1291/2013 also provides support for research and innovation with regard to
alternative fuel vehicles and the related infrastructure, in particular through the
Societal Challenge Smart, green and integrated transport.

Co-funded by the European Union

EV CONNECT PROJECT www.ev-connect.eu

The Regulation (EU) No 1316/2013 on the development of new technologies and


innovation, in particular regarding the decarbonisation of transport, is eligible for
Union funding. That Regulation also provides for additional funding to be granted for
actions which exploit the synergies between at least two of the sectors covered by it
(namely transport, energy and telecommunications). Lastly, the Commission is
assisted by the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Coordination Committee in
coordinating the work programmes with a view to allowing multi-sectoral calls for
proposals in an effort to take full advantage of possible synergies between those
sectors. The CEF would, therefore, contribute to the deployment of alternative fuels
infrastructure.

(3) Directives

Directive 2009/28/EC of 23 April 2009 on the promotion of the use of energy from
renewables sorces, sets a market share target of 10 % of renewables in transport fuels.
This directive repealed Directives 2001/77/EC and 2003/30/EC (OJ L 140, 5.6.2009, p.
16).

Directive 2014/94/EU of 22 October 2014 on the deployment of alternative fuels


infrastructure. The directive requires Member States to set targets for recharging
points accessible to the public, to be built by 2020, to ensure that electric vehicles
can circulate at least in urban and suburban agglomerations. Targets should ideally
foresee a minimum of one recharging point per ten electric vehicles. Moreover, the
directive makes it mandatory to use a common plug all across the EU, which will allow
EU-wide mobility.

(4) Other Initiatives

A European strategy for clean and energy efficient vehicles of 28 April 2010,
indicating:
o Action lines for green vehicles, including electric vehicles.
o Support to research and innovation (European competitiveness, Occupation
profiles).
o Incentives too diversified among the Member States.
o Standardization of the interface vehicle/grid (including the aspect of
communication/negotiation).
o Enhancement of the recharging infrastructure ( commitment of the
Commission for a guiding role and for the definition financing forms for the
investments)
o Integration with the policies pro-renewable energy sources.

The Commission's White Paper of 28 March 2011 entitled Roadmap to a Single


European Transport Area Towards a Competitive and Resource Efficient Transport
System called for a reduction in the dependence of transport on oil. This needs to
be achieved by means of an array of policy initiatives, including the development of
a sustainable alternative fuels strategy as well as of the appropriate infrastructure. The
Commission's White Paper also proposed a reduction of 60 % in greenhouse gas
emissions from transport by 2050, as measured against the 1990 levels.

8. Market Analysis
8.1 Market Barriers

The following shows the main market barriers detected during the face-to-face
interviews (see section 1):

ID Barrier
High Costs of EV compared with ICE. However, there is expected that Economies
1 of scale on EV specific components will play a relevant role reducing costs in the
upcoming years.
2 High upfront Costs of Batteries that can be a half of the vehicle.
Low performance of batteries. The technology is too new to have a lifetime track
record in real-world automotive applications. An effect of this is that neither
3 battery manufacturers nor auto manufacturers can offer a lifetime battery
warranty without oversizing the battery pack by a factor of two or more, making
the batteries uneconomic.
The inertia of OEMs who want to preserve the status quo while making token
4
incremental efforts towards energy efficiency.
Because of the low market penetration of EV there is a lack of qualified personnel
5 in many fields related electric car: Emergency responders, vehicle service
technicians, sales force, electricians, fleet operators, etc.
6 Uncertainty around EV safety
Lack of public/private CI. In 2012, about 9,000 and 12,000 charging stations were
7 installed in Europe and North America, respectively. However, customers opine
that there is still a lack of charging infrastructure.
8 High costs of CS Installation.
Undefined strategy for CI deployment. Lack of a National Strategic Plan that
defines the optimal location for each charging point based on industrial or
9
touristic demand. Currently, each municipality decides freely where to install
charging points according to their needs.
Identified higher education programs related to electric vehicles do not appear
10 to cover some issues that relate to charging infrastructure development such as
land use, community planning, and architecture.
Lack of standardization around the charging technologies. The process to define
standard connectors, standard communication protocols between charger and
11
vehicle and standard user interface is on-going (EN 61851, ISO 15118) but not
yet completed.
The administrative procedures for installing charging points in a public area are
12
extremely complex.
Low introduction of smart metering that will play essential role on load shifting and
13 the development of the Vehicle-to-Grid approach. At the same time, will provide
real-time information on costs to the end-users.
14 Uncertainty of Electricity Costs
Range anxiety. In a survey conducted by the Consumer Electronics Association
71% of participants admitted to range anxiety regarding electric vehicles.
15
However, this is more a perception than a real problem since the km travelled per
day is less than 40 km on average.
Difficult negotiations between building management and residents about
16 approval of EV installations. Parties may be uncertain about who should assume
responsibility for electrical upgrades and maintenance of the equipment.

Co-funded by the European Union


43
EV CONNECT PROJECT www.ev-connect.eu

Regulation deficiencies for installation in private areas. Lack of regulations for


17 installing electric charging points in private areas such as Multi-Unit Dwelling
(MUD) or Apartments.

There is a lack of knowledge between end-users about the characteristics of


18
electric vehicles and their current capabilities.

Habits. Organized mind by people, who need to include charging time for their
19 vehicles within the daily scheduling. The culture around petrol car and its business
model will be extremely difficult to change.
Lack of a Charging of roaming standard between E-Mobility Service Providers.
20 Develop a European Clearing House Operator that simplifies roaming
relationships, moving from a bilateral roaming to a multi-lateral roaming.
Develop a virtual B2B environment for e-mobility related services, accessible
through the internet and hosted in a cloud environment. One example is the
Marketplace Concept developed by Green eMotion, open platform with
21
common standards and protocols and well defined interfaces that will permit the
exchange information between different partners and the interoperability of the
process for billing.
22 Lack of Robust Business Models.
There are different Market Models and in some regions they are developing at the
23 same time. This creates uncertainly for the stakeholders who cant predict their
role in the Electric Vehicle Ecosystem.
24 Uncertain Return on Investment (TCO analysis).
The business ecosystem is complex. The interests of electric companies, car
25 manufacturers, hardware and software developers and ICT have to converge in
the same industry.
Hard conditions for being a Load Manager. System Loads Manager for
conducting energy recharges services. This Decree establishes strong legal,
26
technical and economic requirements for selling electric energy. As a result, only
utilities sell energy in Spain.

Lack of strong financial initiatives (subsides, tax reductions) combined with


27
meaningful non-financial initiatives (use of bus/taxi lanes, free parking).

Lack of really strong regulations in order to limit the average emissions of vehicles
28
sold by manufacturers.

Lack of stricter enforcement in Urban Mobility Policies (Parking, Air Quality Plans
29
and ZE zoning, among others).
Develop and Enforce Consistence Signage. An EV standardised and widely
30 deployed signage is lacking. Consistent and abundant signage offers both
functional and representational value. Traffic code needs changes.

8.2 Driver characterization and user profile

According to an study performed by the Comissione Italiana Veicoli Elettrici Stradali a


Batteria, Ibridi e a Celle a Combustibile (CIVES) , it is possible to classify EV utilization as
follows:

sharing with limited access roads
Private Medium short trips of 8 10 km length 2 to 4
50
transportation times per day
Table 11 Mission profile for different category of users (with reference to Milano area). Elaborated
by CIVES

As a result, the study revealed that an operating range about of 120 km is enough for
meeting the demands of different utilization categories and mission profiles (reference
in Milano Area).

For the private utilization the necessary range requirement can be correlated to the
short trip (from 8 to 10 km), with extended stops with eventual possibility of recharge
even exceeding those which could be strictly necessary. The basic recharge is
considered to be operated overnight and a possible interim recharge at the office
facility. For this type of use, the normal useful range can be of some 50 km and the CI
on the road could assure the driver about possibility of performing mission extensions
not previously scheduled.

The typical user behaviour for the management of the electric vehicle is the charging
the battery overnight and planning the mission in the following day, with an estimation
of the daily trip length and profile, to assess the consistency with the range of the
vehicle fully charged. This procedure can be supported eventually by an appropriate
navigation plan.

The charging frequency should be consistent with the vehicle autonomy and the length
of the daily trip. An indication is given in the previous table 6 on the typical daily mission
length for different types of use.

For given types of mission, the daily run can result shorter than that potentially
achievable by the on board stored energy. This can be, for example, the case of
missions for door to door delivery operated by delivery vans (example the IVECO Daily
electric with a potential range of over 120 km with fully charged battery) against a
required range of some 40 50 km.

8.3 Electric Vehicle Market Trends

According to EVI [2], EV market uptake has been accelerated during the last three
years for stricker fuel efficiency regulations and a desire of governments for mitigating
risks from oil price fluctuations. As a consequence there is a growth in sales and
significant cost reductions in components such as batteries and charging infrastructure.

The consultancy firm Frost & Sullivan [4] foresees that EV sales will increase about 47.7 %
reaching 280,000 units sold by the end of this year what represents 7.4 billion in
revenues (average EV price 26,774; see table 12). The global stock of EVs has grown
from 180,000 units on the road in 2012 to more than 650,000 at present.

However, the global EV stock only represents the 0.02% of the total passenger stock
and its growth is strongly linked to demand-side measures. In this regard, tax
exemptions and subsidies are playing a key role in spurring EV markets. The following

Nevertheless, if we calculate the market penetration of the EVs, Europe leads the way.
As it is shown in the table below, Norway is the country with the highest market
penetration per capita in the world. Norway is also the country with the largest plug-in
electric segment market share of new car sales, 5.6% of new car sales in 2013, and all-
electric car sales jumped to a record 12.9% market share of new car sales during the
first half of 2014 . In March 2014, Norway became the first country where over 1 in every
100 passenger cars on the roads was a plug-in electric. Norway is followed by
Netherlands, with a market share of 5.37% in 2013.

8.4 Charging Infrastructure Market Trends

The global EVSE market is expected to grow considerably encouraged by government


funding and incentives. When the mass-market introduction of electric vehicles began
two years ago there was much debate about a so-called chicken and egg dilemma
[2] facing the nascent market: should EVSE be deployed first in order to spur EV sales, or
does vehicle uptake need to occur before charging infrastructure takes shape? In
2014, the question is largely irrelevant. The reality is that EVs and EVSE are being
deployed simultaneously and the EV stock predictions explained above demonstrates
that there is a strong need of private and public EVSE deployment. In fact, Peak
Research predicts a boom in the EVSE market that will grow globally from $567 million
in revenues in 2013 to $5.8 billion in 2022.

The United States will be the largest single market for EVSE from 2012 to 2020 according
to Pike Research. Pike sees sales of EVSE in North America growing from around 66,000
units in 2012 to 626,000 units in 2020. Although EVSE sales have been driven by federal
stimulus dollars in 20112012, these projects are winding down, so sales will shift to non-
publicly funded units.

The US EVSE market will be led by just a handful of states, with six states constituting
roughly 50% of EVSE sales from 2012 to 2020: California; New York; Florida; Texas;
Washington; and Illinois.

Europe will see the most EVSE installations during the forecast period, just slightly higher
than in the Asia Pacific region. Sales will initially be driven by Western European
demand, which will constitute more than 90% of European EVSE sales. Five European
countries will be in the top 10 countries globally in terms of EVSE sales: Germany; France;
the United Kingdom; the Netherlands; and Italy.

In the Asia Pacific region, Japan is the strongest market due to the substantial
investment in charging infrastructure to support PEV sales. However, China is expected
to overtake Japan and become the largest market for EVSE in Asia Pacific in 2016. Both
countries are also in the top 10 consumers of EVSE. The global top 10 is rounded out by
Canada and Australia.

The chart below (figure 13) illustrates that European sales of EVSE will increase at a
compound annual rate from 2013 to 2020 of the 99% reaching an EVSE stock of 3.13
Million units in 2020. This represents that the potential European EVSE market from 2013
to 2020 is about 10,6 billion (estimated from charging infrastructure prices, see table
15).

The EVSE market is divided between residential (intended for use by a single person or
family usually mode 1, 2) and commercial equipment (inductive, Mode 4 and 3), which
includes workplace, public, and private facilities. The market will see higher demand for
residential units than for commercial units as early EV buyers are more likely to own their
own homes. As the EV market grows, it will reach a broader base of consumers living in
multi-family dwellings, leading to greater growth in the sales of commercial EVSE for
private use. According to Frost and Sullivan, in 2020 95% of the European EVSE stock will
be mode 2 and 3.

9. Charging Infrastructure Business Models


9.1 New Business Models

It was recognized at an early stage in the study that the high up-front costs of EVs and
PHEVs and the perceived technology risk would necessitate alternative business models
if significant levels of uptake were to be achieved.

According to the stakeholders consulted the following are the main innovative business
models and apportunities to be considered:

1) Battery leasing. By retaining liability for the battery the manufacturer is committed to
replacing it if its performance is sub-optimal. This removes a significant element of
the financial risk for consumers. The monthly fee for leasing the batteries could
simply switch from the original owner to the new owner. A further benefit to the
consumer is that it allows the manufacturer to take advantage of any
improvements in battery technology when the batteries are eventually replaced.

2) Subscription Model (Mobile Phone Style Contract) Implemented by Better Place this
model offers to end-users an EV at a lower price via a series of subscription pricing
packages that will provide access to the network of charging points and battery
swap stations. The company owns the charging points and battery swap stations as
well as the car batteries.

3) End-to-end authentication and payment services: In order to charge at a charging


station, it is currently often necessary to have an account with an EV charging
service provider. The development of end-to-end authentication and payment
services through smart phone applications is an important trend in the EV market.
This service can facilitate transactions at the charging station and provide account
details through mobile apps. Nonetheless, registration with the charging station
provider can be a time-consuming process; therefore, this issue will need to be
resolved.

4) Mobility as a Service (Maas): This concept is changing the way that we understand
mobility. Getting from Point A to Point B can be done in a multitude of ways and
may mean using a privately owned vehicle for only part of the journey or not
owning a car at all (especially in dense urban areas). In this regard, there is a need
of new ICT solutions that such as Moovel app (www.moovel.com) which offers
journey advice based on integrated mobility, combining public and private
transport (McKinsey & Company, 2014).

9.2 Case studies

This section will be presented as a series of four case studies of business models that are
being used to support the penetration of EVs and PHEVs.

Case Study 1: Better Place

Better Place is a venture capital supported company based in California that


developed and sold battery-charging and battery-switching services for EVs. It was
founded in October 2007 by entrepreneur Shai Agassi and has so far raised over
$200million of financing.

Co-funded by the European Union


54
EV CONNECT PROJECT www.ev-connect.eu

Better Place announced deployment of electric vehicle networks in Israel, Denmark


and Hawaii in 2008 and 2009. The company planned to deploy the infrastructure on a
country-by-country basis, and said it was in talks with more than 25 additional regions
around the world: Australia, Ontario, Oregon, and California also announced
deployment of Better Place electric car networks.

In January 2008, Better Place announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)


with Renault-Nissan to build the world's first Electric Recharge Grid Operator (ERGO)
model for Israel. Under the agreement, Better Place would build the electric recharge
grid, and Renault-Nissan would provide the electric vehicles.

The company opened its first functional charging station the first week of December
2008 at Cinema City in Pi-Glilot near Tel Aviv, Israel. The first customer deliveries
of Renault Fluence Z.E. electric cars enabled with battery switching technology began
in Israel in the second quarter of 2012, and at peak in mid September 2012, there were
21 operational battery-swap stations open to the public in Israel.

However, Better Place filed for bankruptcy in Israel in May 2013. The company's
financial difficulties were caused by mismanagement, wasteful efforts to establish
toeholds and run pilots in too many countries, the high investment required to develop
the charging and swapping infrastructure, and a market penetration far lower than
originally predicted by Shai Agassi. Less than 1,000 Fluence Z.E. cars were deployed in
Israel and around 400 units in Denmark, after spending about US$850 million in private
capital. After two failed post-bankruptcy acquisition attempts, the bankruptcy receivers
sold off the remaining assets in November 2013for only $450,000.

Better Place implemented a business model wherein customers entered into


subscriptions to purchase driving distance similar to the mobile telephone industry in
which customers contracted for minutes of airtime. The initial cost of an electric vehicle
might also have been subsidized by the ongoing per-distance revenue contract just as
mobile handset purchases are subsidized by per-minute mobile service contracts.
Better Place's goal was to enable electric cars to sell for $5,000 less than the price of the
average gasoline car sold.

The Better Place approach was to enable manufacturing and selling of different
electric cars separately from their standardized batteries in the same way that petrol
cars are sold separately from their fuel. Petrol is not purchased upfront, but is bought a
few times a month when the fuel tank needs filling. Similarly, the Better Place monthly
payment would cover electric "fuel" costs including battery, daily charging and battery
swaps. Better Place was to allow customers to pay incrementally for battery costs
including electric power, battery life, degradation, warranty problems, maintenance,
capital cost, quality, technology advancement and anything else related to the
battery. The per-distance fees would cover battery pack leasing, charging and swap
infrastructure, purchasing sustainable electricity, profits, and the cost of investor capital.
All battery problems would be handled by Better Place which would then bundle the
costs and bill their customers monthly for providing all infrastructure.

55
EV CONNECT PROJECT www.ev-connect.eu

Figure 17 Better Place Swapping Station (www.inc.com)

The Better Place electric car charging infrastructure network was based on a smart grid
software platform using Intel Atom processors and Microsoft .NET software, or
comparable vendors. This platform was first of its kind in the world and was to enable
Better Place to manage the charging of hundreds of thousands of electric cars
simultaneously by automatically time-shifting recharging away from peak demand
hours of the day, preventing overload of the electrical grid of the host country. Better
Place would be able to provide electricity for millions of electric cars without adding a
single electricity generator or transmission line by using smart software that oversaw and
managed the recharging of electric cars connected with Better Place.

Better Place encouraged governments to mandate the use of international standards


and open access to recharge across charging networks to facilitate competing
networks. Standardization efforts such as SAE J1772, however, had not yet yielded
global consensus as of August 2009. Better Place displayed Charge Spot charging
stations that used a connector with the same pin layout as SAE J1772-2009 but housed
in a non-standard, triangular plug. They also displayed a wall mounted charging station
using IEC 62196 Type 2 receptacle. Battery pack switching outside of Better Place's
network was not to be allowed. Better Place said it had pre-sold enough contracts to
make its first deployed network in Israel profitable at launch.

Case Study 2: Tesla

Tesla Motors, Inc. is an American company that designs, manufactures, and


sells electric cars and electric vehicle power train components. Tesla Motors is a public
company that trades on the NASDAQ stock exchange under the symbol TSLA. In the
first quarter of 2013, Tesla posted profits for the first time in its history.

Tesla Motors first gained widespread attention following their production of the Tesla
Roadster, the first fully electric sports car. The company's second vehicle is the Model S,
a fully electric luxury sedan, and its next two vehicles are the
Models X and 3 respectively.

Tesla also markets electric power train components, including lithium-ion battery packs
to automakers including Daimler and Toyota. Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, has said that he
envisions Tesla as an independent automaker, aimed at eventually offering electric
cars at prices affordable to the average consumer. A vehicle under $40,000 is
expected by 2017.

EV CONNECT PROJECT www.ev-connect.eu

Figure 18 Tesla Charging Station (teslamotors.com)

Tesla operates stores or galleries usually located in shopping malls in 22 U.S. states and
Washington DC. Customers cannot purchase vehicles from the stores, but must order
them on the Tesla Motors website instead. The stores act as showrooms that allow
people to learn more about Tesla Motors and its vehicles. The galleries are located in
states with more restrictive dealership protection laws, which prevent discussing prices,
finances, and test drives, as well as other restrictions.

Tesla's strategy of direct customer sales and owning its own stores and service centres is
a significant departure from the standard dealership model currently dominating the
U.S. vehicle marketplace. Tesla Motors is the only automaker that sells cars directly to
consumers, with all other automakers using independently owned dealerships. 48 states
have laws that limit or ban manufacturers from selling vehicles directly to
consumers, and even though Tesla Motors has no independent dealerships, dealership
associations in multiple states have filed numerous lawsuits against Tesla Motors, trying
to block the company from selling cars in some states. North Carolina and New
Hampshire sided with Tesla Motors while Virginia and Texas have taken the opposite
position.

Another innovative aspect of Tesla is that the company offer free access to Tesla
Superchargers Station to Model S owners in highways in North America (129 stations),
Europe (89) and Asia (34). Superchargers provide half a charge in as little as 20 minutes
and are strategically placed to allow owners to drive from station to station with
minimal stops.

In addition, Tesla plans to make battery swapping available by December 2014 in


California. The company expects to eventually up grade all existing Tesla supercharger
stations with this new technology at a cost of US60.

Case Study 3: Autolib

Autolib' is an electric car sharing service which was inaugurated in Paris, France, in
December 2011. It complements the city's bike sharing scheme, Velib', which was set
up in 2007. The Autolib' scheme intends to deploy 3,000 EV on a subscription basis,
based around a citywide network of parking and charging stations.

The table below summarizes the subscription types available, the subscription fees and
the corresponding 30-minute rates (www.autolib.eu/en):

Table 17 Subscription Types (www.autolib.eu/en)

As of 30 September 2013, over 2,000 Bluecars had been registered for the service, and
the scheme had 105,000 registered subscribers by mid-October 2013.

The case of Autolib showcases the strengths of ICT-driven business model for mobility
and electric mobility in urban areas in particular. Firstly, communications between
vehicles, charging stations, and users allow for new functionalities and customer
service.

Customers are able to plan journeys in the most efficient way, for example by booking
vehicles and parking spaces at their departure and destination stations. The advanced
logistics in the e-mobility system create an optimized service, enabling maximum use to
be obtained from each vehicle.

Autolib also illustrates potential new sources of value creation in the ICT business
model, beyond the benefits of the service to the retail customer. By collaborating more
closely with the electric utility and DNO, ErDF, the company running the service, Bollor,
can improve energy demand management for its vehicles. Indeed, a parked fleet of
electric vehicles that is connected to the charging network and a data network can
be charged in a smart way, at times that make use of spare capacity in the electric
grid and even that benefit it.

EV batteries can offer storage services for secondary energy markets (regulation and
ancillary services, particularly if they are aggregated in large battery stocks after their
life in cars). All of these strategies can be directly mapped to financial gains.

However, this business model has some weaknesses that need to be analysed:

Using and standardized vehicle model the Blue Car is the most efficient economic
solution for this car sharing system but limits innovation and competition-driven
improvements.

This model separates electric transportation from residential electricity consumption


for driving but is not exposed to the potential opportunities offered by using
electricity as a fuel.

Autolibs receives subsidies from Paris public authorities and is strengthened by the
federal governments support of the automobile and energy industries in France.

10. EV-CONNECT Roadmap and Monitoring System


10.1 Methodology

In order to develop the roadmap the Theory of Change methodology (ToC) has been
used. A ToC based approach aims to clarify the overall theory of an intervention by
specifying its desired long-term outcomes and impacts and the methods put in place
to achieve them.

In the following sections the contextual conditions of the EV and CI market have been
analysed, and we have defined a set of activities in order to achieve the desired
objectives.

10.2 Objectives

The aim of the roadmap is to increase the market uptake of the EV Charging
infrastructure by shifting from the current random and isolated charging infrastructure to
interconnected charging networks based on market demands (holidays, business, etc.).

The following are the main specific objectives of the intervention:

To align the EVSE deployment with the real needs of the end-users.
Facilitate the development of a comprehensive, robust, and streamlined
standards and conformance landscape.
Maximise the coordination and communication between the different elements
of the complex EV ecosystem.
To facilitate the private/public deployment of the CI.

10.6 Final Roadmap

Track 1 Creating Appropriate Governance Structures and Strategies for Supporting the Deployment
of the Charging Infrastructure

Action 1.1 Creating the European Electric Vehicle Network (EEVN) that provides to public
representatives, industry and end-users a central contact point for obtaining information and
advice services on e-Mobility

Description

The Electric Vehicle Network will be a collaborative European network organised at regional level
and will consist of consortia of host organisations established in all regions of the European Union.
The EEVN will bring together e-Mobility support organisations from the European Union and will
support public and private organizations and will carry out the following activities:

Collaborate with other European and global organizations to promote e-Mobility.


Creation of regional and local Information Centres.
Providing a first line advice services about e-Mobility to public representatives and private
organizations.
Exchange of best practices on e-Mobility.
Creating an open database of European organizations and experts on e-Mobility.
Representing common interests before European administrations.

Barriers to overcome

Complex and confusing authorization processes for the installation of charging infrastructure
that often involve many disconnected parties that do not have the power to make a
decision.
The high level of complexity of the EV ecosystem with many organizations following different
objectives and strategies.
Poor dialogue between organizations devoted to promote the deployment of the charging
infrastructure.

Objectives

Increasing the dialogue between different initiatives, platforms, associations and


organizations aimed to promote the deployment of the Charging Infrastructure.
Becoming the European Central Contact Point for obtaining information on e-Mobility.
Offering first aid advice on e-mobility to public and private sector.

Description of Work

Activity 1.1.1 Developing an implementation strategy for ensuring the sustainability of the EEVN. This
strategy will include:

A definition of the strategy of the network.


Finding and establishing partnerships with EV stakeholders for operating the network.
A development of the work plan for the two first years of operation.
An economic sustainability plan.

Action 1.2 Programme for supporting regions for developing e-Mobility Plans and the establishment
of regional targets

Description

Initiatives to promote the electrification of transport are often focused on individual cities. However,
municipal boundaries can create artificial limits that do not reflect the real movement of freight
and transport. Successful integration of EVs into regional transport and energy systems cannot be
achieved by isolated municipal plans, but instead requires cooperation between all relevant
stakeholders in the cities and communities within a region.

This activity aims to increase the collaboration between different municipalities and regional
government for the deployment of the charging infrastructure. A good example of that is the Live
Platform (livebarcelona.cat) that started as a municipal initiative to promote EV in Barcelona and it
is currently a link between different public plans at regional level.

Co-funded by the European Union


72
EV CONNECT PROJECT www.ev-connect.eu

Barriers to overcome

Undefined strategy for CI deployment. Lack of a National Strategic Plan that defines the
optimal location for each charging point based on industrial or touristic demand. Currently,
each municipality decides freely where to install charging points according to their needs.

Lack of coordination for the CI deployment between municipalities.

Objectives

Increasing the collaboration between different municipalities.


Involving regional governments with the development of the national policy frameworks
required by the directive 2014/94/UE .
Supporting the coordination and definition between plans and policies of different
administrations.
Representing common interests before other State and European administrations.

Description of Work

Activity 1.2.1 Developing a public platform with the aim to facilitate the deployment of regional
mobility plans and set regional objectives for the deployment the charging infrastructure. This
platform will particularly support regional governments (transport and mobility authorities) on the
following issues:

Compiling national mobility plans from all European regions.


Facilitating national and regional e-Mobility policy makers from other regions.
Giving technical support on roaming issues especially in cross-border regions.
Mapping of best practices on public policies for the deployment of the charging
infrastructure.

Activity 1.2.2 Promoting Collaborative Procurement Programmes between municipalities with major
EVSE market share with other communities with low penetration rates following these objectives:

Municipalities with poor experience in EVSE procurement processes could learn from other
experienced partners.
Attract major investors.
Costs optimization for economies of scale.
Parties with major experience could lead the process.

In order to impulse these collaborative programmes they will be partially funded by the national
government and the European Commission.

Action 1.3 Introduction of new taxation schemes

Description

Finding a balance between the desire to encourage innovation and the need to maintain the
transportation system is extremely complex. New taxes will make EVs more expensive and slow
vehicle adoption. On the contrary, if government dont find new methods to finance the
deployment of the charging infrastructure its deployment will be unsustainable.

For these reason, EV experts expressed during EV-CONNECT workshops the need of finding new
innovative finance mechanisms that could help government to raise funds without damaging the
image of EVs.

For instance, the Oregon Department of Transportation implemented a new road usage program
called OReGO (www.myorego.org)in which volunteers will pay for the miles they drive, creating a
fair and sustainable way to fund road maintenance, preservation of the road.

Barriers to overcome

Similar programs implemented in EU raised concerns about the potential invasion of privacy,
particularly about GPS-based mileage reporting services.
High costs of start-up and operations for public administration.
People from rural areas do not have alternatives to private transport what makes the road
usage program unfair for rural rivers.
Difficult to implement for non-resident drivers.

Co-funded by the European Union


75
EV CONNECT PROJECT www.ev-connect.eu

Objectives

Determine how well public will accept the per-mile charging program.
Demonstrate and measure the technical and operational viability of the proposed Road
Usage Charge System.
Gain a preliminary understanding of the operational aspects of the per-mile charging
programme.
Gain a preliminary understanding of the costs of implementing a per-mile charging
program

Description of Work

Activity 1.3.1 Public procurement process for the development of the Road Usage Charge System:

Development of the on-board Kilometre Collection System


Transaction processing System

Activity 1.3.2 Designing and implementing a Road Use Charge Programme in which the
government could offer additional incentives for electric vehicle drivers if they agree to participate
in the program and demonstrate the effectiveness of new finance mechanisms.

Action 1.4 Developing new systems for collecting information and analysing of charging behaviour:
the role of big data.

Description

New technologies such as sensors networks, Intelligent Transport Systems and Big Data introduces to
policy makers and other EV stakeholders new tools for collecting information about EV
performance, driving patterns and charging behaviour.

For instance, the University of Michigan have used big data mining techniques to evaluate the
impact of adopting plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) in the Beijing taxi fleet. Although the results were
based on a specific public fleet, the study demonstrates the benefit of using big data to better
understand environmental implications of fleet electrification and inform better decision making.

The aim of this activity is to explore new methodologies, especially big data techniques, to collect
information on charging behaviour and use this information to improve the deployment of the
charging infrastructure in the territory.

Barriers to overcome

Driving and charging patterns have not been well studied and analysed.
Traditional approaches for refuelling demand estimation (e.g. traffic flow and vehicle
ownership density) do not necessarily represent public charging demand.

Objectives

To help policy makers to regulate and promote the use of EV with objective data.
To understand the deployment of EV: user's behaviour, charging/driving patterns,
differentiation by type of use.
To monitor the impact of measures to accelerate the deployment of the charging
infrastructure.

Track 2 Accelerating the Deployment of the Charging Infrastructure

Action 2.1 Development of public accessible charging infrastructure

Description

The aim of this activity is to support the deployment of the public accessible charging
infrastructure. These types of locations are normally owned by public authorities, mainly
municipalities, and include roads, pavements, kerbs, etc. However, the deployment of charging
infrastructure in public areas could be executed by private entities through concessions, license
or building permits.

Barriers to overcome

Lack of public/private CI. In 2012, about 9,000 and 12,000 charging stations were installed in
Europe and North America, respectively. However, customers opine that there is still a lack
of charging infrastructure.
Concentration of the current charging infrastructure in urban areas.
Undefined business model for CI.
Lack of Fast CI (DC) network. National and Transnational.
Current mobility studies have a regional and urban focus. However, a national and
transnational focus is needed for facing real market demand.

Objectives

Optimize administrative procedures for placement of public charging points.


Develop a clear policy and guidelines for the deployment of the charging infrastructure.
Increase the collaboration between private and public parties.
Install de charging points according to real market demands.

Description of Work

Activity 2,1.1 Establishing a national model for charging infrastructure public procurement
including:
o Technical requirements of the charging points
o Guides on location and security issues
o Terms and conditions of ownership, maintenance, etc.

Activity 2.1.2 Accelerating the administrative procedures for giving licenses to EVSE operators.
o Promoting the creation of a central licensing office.
o Develop a web-based platform for online application process.
o Increasing the collaboration between different governmental departments
o Establishing a maximum response time.

Activity 2.1.3 Concession for the Development of Electric-Highways. Public funding for the
installation at private off-ramp vendors including restaurants and hotels at no cost to the business.
Then, concession to a private contractor who will operate the charging stations and pays for the
electricity.

Activity 2.1.4 Providing direct subsidies to EVSE operators for facilitating the deployment of the
charging infrastructure. A scheme in which the government contributes per kWh delivered is
strongly recommended as a measure of increasing the utilization rates of the charging points.

Activity 2.2 Development of private accessible Charging Infrastructure

Description

The aim of this activity is to support the deployment of the private accessible charging
infrastructure. This infrastructure is essential for recharging the car during the night and taking
benefit from a reduced price in electric power. The recharging points can be installed at home,
in the office or in private park areas.

Barriers to overcome

High complex process and high costs for installation in MUDs (common areas).

Difficult negotiations between building management and residents about approval of


installations. Parties may be uncertain about who should assume responsibility for electrical
upgrades and maintenance of the equipment.

Unclear national regulation. E.g. in Spain a new complementary technical instruction of the
Low Voltage Technical Regulation, known as ITC BT-52, on the electrical installations
needed to recharge electric vehicles has been locked for a large number of allegations
from different stakeholders. In the meantime, some regions like Catalonia have adopted a
regulation which permits the implementation of several scenarios for EV Infrastructure
installations under the criteria of the latest known version of the ITC BT52 draft (April 2012).

Physical limitations: electric capacity, distance from power supply, lack of internet
connection in park areas.

Subsidies only available to driver.

Unclear Business Model: the end-user or the condominium could contract energy supply
directly to a utility or could contract an authorised EV Load Manager.

Objectives

Standardize permits and optimize procedures for private charging points installation.
Providing clear information for purchase and installation of charging points.
Providing direct financial support to private parties for the installation of charging points.

Description of Work

Activity 2.2.1Launching an Initiative for the Development of the Charging Infrastructure at the
Workplace. The aim of this activity is to promote the installation of the charging points at the
workplace by disseminating the main benefits for the employers, procedures for installations and
fiscal incentives available.

Activity 2.2.2 Developing a Toolkit (web-based tool) in order to support communities and
administrators to the installation of charging points. Main objectives of the toolkit:

Providing guidance on the issues you need to consider when planning to install a charging
point.
Exchange of best practices and increase collaboration between different communities.
A list of local EVSE providers.
Giving information about fiscal incentives and subsidies for the installation.

Track 3 Implementing measures to overcome the range anxiety

Action 3.1 Creating an Open Dynamic registry of public accessible charging points

Description

The aim of this action is to create an open, public and free registry of public accessible charging
points in Europe. The lack of reliability of the different charging maps and databases has been
identified b EV-CONNECT experts as one of the main causes of the range anxiety.

Barriers to overcome

The majority of the charging point station map websites reviewed do not contain all of the
information that would be useful from EV user perspective: charger type, charger power,
cost of charger, public or private, status and number of charging points. The current
database are local and do not provide information at European Level.
There are a lot of many charging maps, but none include all CI.
Poor visibility of charging infrastructure. There is a need of standardisation of the EV signage
and include EV in traffic code.
There is a considerable variation in the amount of information available and presented on
each charge point (station) map website.

Objectives

Reduce the range anxiety caused by the lack of reliability of the charging station data.
Offering comprehensive information on the location, accessibility, and availability of
charging stations to particulars and private companies.
Obtaining real-time data on the status and availability of charging points.
Promoting business models that exploit the information about the location of charging
points.

Track 4 Facilitating the Deployment of New Business Models for the Exploitation of the Charging
Infrastructure

Action 4.1 Developing a TOOLKIT for supporting new business models around the charging
infrastructure

Description

The mass adoption of the EVs will change the rules of the game and end-users will change its
behaviour and mobility patterns. They will charge its vehicle more often than they use to fuel
ICEs when convenient.

Although the market potential is high presently charging station operators and owners avoid
high investments while they expect that market forecasts becomes a reality. For that reason
public intervention is needed in order to stimulate private investment and support EV early
adopters.

The aim of this activity is to detect and disseminate business opportunities for exploiting the
charging infrastructure as well as supporting the development of new business models on
electric vehicle infrastructure.

Barriers to overcome

High costs of batteries: purchasing a battery is like buying a lifetime of fuel up front at a
cost that can be half that of the vehicle itself.
High costs of the EV: for the short term, EVs -not including their batteries- will be more
expensive than ICE-based vehicles. This is because EV-specific components are not
produced in large quantities yet.
Slow return on investment: for CI operators the low usage rates of the Charging
Infrastructure (12-24 vehicles per day for Fast Charging Stations) and the high up-front costs
(an average of 30.000) hampers the CI deployment.
Complex stakeholder ecosystem. Many interested parts converge to a new industry.

Objectives

To provide a strategic overview of the European electric vehicles charging infrastructure


market. This includes key technology trends, market drivers, restraints, and challenges.
To stimulate the creation of innovative business models for increasing the market uptake of
the EV.
To providing tools for the detection and analysis of new business opportunities on EVSE.
To promote public policies for facilitating business development.
To provide business case scenario: Analysis of different types of business models adopted
and business cases.
To provide the competitor profiles of active participants in the market with their available
product portfolio.
To highlight key market opportunities.

Description of Work

Activity 4.1.1 Developing a web-based tool for mapping and evaluating business opportunities on
EVSE. This tool will help entrepreneurs and companies to analyse the following issues:

The impact of e-mobility legislation on the business.


Business strategy.

EV CONNECT PROJECT www.ev-connect.eu

Profitability and return on investment.

Activity 4.1.2 Developing new national and European financial schemes for supporting the
creation of new companies and innovative business models around the charging infrastructure.
Most of the existing programmes such as SME Instrument are focused on bringing to the market
new and disruptive technologies coming from research. The idea is to support entrepreneurs that
would like to bring to the market incremental innovations in order to optimize and improve the
current charging technologies.

An example could be some electricians who needs financial support for starting new companies
for the installation of wall boxes or charging points in private garages.

Activity 4.1.3 Developing a communication plan in order to disseminate information among private
investors and venture capital firms about electro mobility, public plans for the deployment of the
charging infrastructure and the market potential of this technology. The main objective is to attract
private investment to new companies and accelerate the development of new business models
around the charging infrastructure.

Activity 4.1.4 Creating an European Prize for the most innovative business model for the charging
infrastructure.

Action 4.2 Developing Business Models for increasing the usage of the charging infrastructure

Description

One of the main challenges that face e-Mobility is the lack of information about EVs drivers
patterns and charging behaviour. Firstly, EV-CONNECT roadmap was focused on the
deployment of the charging infrastructure. However, after analysing the results provided by
Green Emotion project (Deliverable 10.7) we realized that the main problem is the poor use of
public charging infrastructure.

Bear this in mind, it has been demonstrated that focusing our efforts to the deployment of the
charging infrastructure not always get good results. For that reason, Green Emotion detected
that it is essential supporting the development of new business models that increases the usage
of the charging infrastructure such as open charging networks to different EVSP and promote
public and private EVs fleets.

Barriers to overcome

Low utilization of public charging points.


Unclear business models around the charging infrastructure.
EVSE providers are reluctant to open their networks to costumers from other EVSP providers.
Low penetration of the EVs. According to EV connect estimations the market share of the
EV in Europe was about 0.6% in 2014.
Poor visibility of the charging infrastructure.

Objectives

Introduce openness requirements for the installation of the charging infrastructure.


Increase the usage of the charging infrastructure.
Introduce the EV in public and private fleets.
Increase the number of the e-car sharing companies.

Description of Work

Activity 4.2.1 Establishing Openness requirements to EVSE operators (minimum 50%) in the
authorization process for installing a charging station in areas with high levels of traffic. This measure
will help to increase the utilization rates of the charging infrastructure because one charging point
could managed by an EVSE could be sued by different EVSP. This should be implemented by
national authorities in collaboration with European Commission.

Activity 4.2.2 Developing a public programme for the promotion of electric fleets. The programme
will include the following measures:

Viability and potential studies and demonstrators in both public and private fleets.
TCO calculation toolkit for fleet managers.
Exchange of best practices with fleet administrators and operators.

Co-funded by the European Union

Action 4.3 Create an unified billing system for all public accessible charging infrastructures in pilot
regions (Slow&fast)

Description

According to Green eMotion project and the opinion of EV-CONNECT workshop participants the
deployment of the charging infrastructure and the development of new business models around
it will be related to the capacity of exchanging information between different partners and the
interoperability for billing.

The role of the Marketplace is to connect European providers of e-Mobility services with
European charging station operators (see section 3).

The Marketplace makes it possible to offer a wide range of services throughout Europe,
including roaming that is the use of charging stations outside the territory of the contractual
provider of electromobility services, similar to the market for mobile telephony. The marketplace
is also open to other service providers, who can thus easily offer innovative new electromobility
concepts in competition with other providers.

The aim of this activity is to support the development of the marketplace in close collaboration
with the private industry and local governments not only for ensuring the interoperability from
different states but also in the same region.

Barriers to overcome

EVSE providers are reluctant to open their networks to costumers from other EVSP providers
Local roaming solutions mainly lead by some municipalities such as Barcelona (Live
Platform)
Many e-roaming initiatives from different providers
Different billing systems. Need for pay-on-the-go opportunity access
Excessive roaming costs
Free charging or flat rate for registered users

Objectives

Interconnect different individual platforms


Create and unify an easy and transparent billing systems without restrictions
Deploy sustainable business models for CI
New business models with added-value services
Increased user acceptance

Track 5 Learning new electromobility concepts

Action 5.1 Developing tailored workforce training programs/courses

Description

The expected large-scale introduction of electric vehicles creates a need for up-to-date and
just-in-time available learning materials and tools. However, experts that participated in EV-
CONNECT workshops insisted on the fact that training courses must be pulled by demand, either
market or society demand. In the EVs case, they highlighted that today this demand doesnt
exist, except for some specific sectors, such as the EVs repair and maintenance.

For that reason, experts suggested to create free and open accessible learning material
focused to specific and concrete needs for some elements of the EV-Ecosystem.

Barriers to overcome
Limited knowledge about the technology of electric vehicles, their performance
capabilities, their operation, use and their interaction with the electric supply system.
There is a limited offer of EV and EVSE training courses although the demand of EV is
increasing every day.

Objectives

Providing learning materials to public representatives for understanding how to develop


and implement a strategy for the deployment of the charging infrastructure.

Description of Work

Activity 5.1.1 The development of an Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Training Program (EVITP) and

Action 6.1 Green Tourism

Description

Many tourist destinations are dependent on climate as their principal attraction to visitors, or on
environmental resources such as wildlife and biodiversity. According to the International
Environmental Agency, tourism also contributes to global warming, accounting for an estimated
5% of global carbon emissions and the transport sector, including air, car and rail, generates the
largest proportion, with 75% of all emissions.

For that reason, the introduction of the EV in environmental protected areas helps to preserve a
relaxed, clean and safe atmosphere. In addition, promotes the use of EV as a way to protect
the environment.

Barriers to overcome
Low introduction of EV and EVSE in rural areas.
High installation costs.
Low integration of the EV charging infrastructure an renewable.

Objectives

Increase the use of the EV in environmental protected areas with ecological or cultural
value.

Description of Work

Action 6.2 Introduction of the Advanced Air Quality Monitoring Systems

Description

Some of the experts during the workshops stressed that the general population generally
unknown levels of pollution to which they are subjected. This is because the administration and
the media do not disseminate the pollution levels as they usually do with other indicators such as
the atmospheric pressure or the amount of rain.

As an example, India has recently launched a National Air Quality Index to provide a simple,
composite and easy to understand measure of air quality. The index was conceived of as a tool
that is simple for people to understand and allows for easy dissemination of information about air
quality and associated health risks.

Another example is AirCasting an open-source, end-to-end solution for collecting, displaying,


and sharing health and environmental data using your smartphone. The platform consists of
wearable sensors that detect changes in your environment and physiology, including a palm-
sized air quality monitor called the AirBeam, the AirCasting Android app, the AirCasting website,
and wearable LED accessories. By documenting and leveraging health and environmental data
to inform personal decision-making and public policy, the AirCasting platform empowers citizen
scientists and changemakers.

Barriers to overcome
Lack of awareness about the high pollution rated in big cities such as Barcelona.
Lack of real time information about air quality.
High price of air monitory systems.

Objectives
To disseminate real time air quality information.
To raise awareness of the high levels of contamination in cities.
To promote alternative ways of transport.

Description of Work

Activity 6.2.1 Benchmarking on devices and sensors for measuring air pollution.

Activity 6.2.2 Developing an app for collecting real time information about contamination levels.

Activity 6.2.3 Developing a platform for disseminating all the information and Integration with map
