Eurelectric's E-Vision Report Highlights Flexibility and Consumer Benefits in EV Charging Strategies

Gabrielle Clark, an e-mobility policy officer at Eurelectric, discusses the organization's role in representing over 3,500 companies within the EU electricity sector. She introduces their annual flagship report "E-Vision," developed with EY and focused on flexibility in electric vehicle (EV) charging systems. The report explores both bi-directional and unidirectional smart charging technologies as means to enhance grid flexibility. While Europe lags behind China but leads the US in EV market share growth—22% last year—the region faces challenges such as subsidy changes and new CO2 regulations affecting market dynamics. Despite these hurdles, electrification is crucial for achieving decarbonization targets under Europe's Green Deal initiatives. Eurelectric's study emphasizes significant investment needs for infrastructure upgrades to support increased energy demands from widespread electrification efforts across various sectors beyond transport alone. It also highlights potential consumer savings through optimized use of smart charging solutions while noting necessary regulatory frameworks and technical advancements required for maximizing benefits across stakeholders involved.
