Leading the Charge with Fleet Electrification

Cars as batteries on wheels: Thomas Raffeiner and Petrouschka Werther discuss how V2G and smart charging turn EVs into critical grid assets.

The Transition to technology-enabled mobility and sustainable zero-emission ecosystem offers an immense opportunity and equally operational challenges. The session provides a view on both global and regional market potentials and trends, as well as recommendations on how to identify realized profitable value pools. Recommendations are underpinned by PwC analytic data as well as real life case studies to guide e-mobility stakeholders towards the development of a reliable and sustainable EV-energy-ecosystem, operational excellence and profitable business models.

As the total cost of ownership of electric fleets is becoming lower than that of fossil fuel alternatives, many fleet operators are considering to switch. This switch entails more than just changing the vehicles themselves and getting a fuel card: infrastructure, route planning, required range and load all have to go into the decision to avoid unpleasant surprises. In this session, fleet operators and charging infrastructure providers will be showcasing best practices on how to build the infrastructure needed for a swift switch to electric vehicles. Furthermore, the session will discuss requirements necessary for the transformation of public transport fleets, commercial vehicles and last mile solutions.
