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.

Off-grid solar systems are often the least expensive option for rural electrification. Solar home systems can power individual households, while mini-grids can supply entire villages. Each comes with its own advantages, disadvantages, and challenges. The aim of this session is to explore challenges as well as success stories. It takes well-functioning components such as battery systems, charge management and inverters to make projects successful. Proper system sizing, maintenance and repair management, as well as a robust financial concept are also necessary. If one of these elements is missing, the electrification will not be sustainable. This session will focus on the aspects mentioned above. The speakers will present successful and unsuccessful approaches and discuss what can be learned from them.
