Viable and Sustainable Charging Infrastructure

Much of the extent of success in shifting toward low-carbon mobility is about business model viability. While many electrification use-cases, 比如叫车服务, have already proven to lower a fleet’s total cost of ownership, a variety of 基础设施 challenges limit customer experience and increase operational and capital expenditure (CAPEX). The lack of clarity around global charging 基础设施 deployment roadmaps and associated investment complexities present a challenge for ensuring a timely, equitable and sustainable transition to zero-emission vehicles. This is further limited in compatibility or seamlessness between key system components such as vehicles, 基础设施, charging networks and the electrical grid. 

The potential value of the transition to EVs resides at the intersection of mobility, 房地产和能源. Unlocking this value can increase the efficiency of EV fleets and support wider deployment of 基础设施. The mobility and energy sectors can develop charging flexibility and user-adapted services, and with the eruption of new mobility hubs, real-estate actors can increase the efficiency and sustainability of land use, while maximizing social inclusivity and functionality. Collaboration with governments is also crucial in clarifying the global 基础设施 roadmap, which can unlock the market potential of EVs.

This workstream seeks to increase the deployment of viable and sustainable charging 基础设施 that is highly utilized and low CAPEX by design. It promotes additional energy services that support efficient integration of transport in the electricity grid and the built environment. 通过知识和倡导, the workstream provides businesses and governments with tools and recommendations for timely, equitable and sustainable global charging 基础设施 deployment.
