AVERE's Policy Manager Introduces Key Presentation on Electric Trucks and Megawatt Charging Costs at European Electromobility Conference

Raphaël Héliot, Policy Manager at AVERE, the European Association for Electromobility, introduces his organization and its mission. Based in Brussels, AVERE advocates for e-mobility advancements across Europe by engaging with lawmakers and various stakeholders including national associations, charging point manufacturers, and OEMs. The association aims to promote electric vehicles (EVs) and the expansion of EV infrastructure like charging points. Raphaël invites interested parties to visit their booth in Hall B6 for membership information before transitioning focus away from his introduction towards more pressing conference content. Specifically, he welcomes Dr. Julia Hildermeier and Andreas Jahn from the Regulatory Assistance Project to present on a critical topic: electric trucks and megawatt charging costs in Europe.

For more than two decades, Norway has been steadily building a marketplace for electric transport. Having started out with inexpensive short-range electric cars and household charging sockets, Norway has now moved to mass-market solutions where fast charging (DC) and grid balancing (AC) plays an ever more vital role. With more than 1,000,000 electric cars and over 10,000 fast chargers in a relatively small market, Norway offers a rare early view of large-scale electrification. Over the past decade, electric cars have seen substantial improvements, which is now making it easier for new markets to advance electrification. At the same time, Norway has to deal with challenges years before other markets do. Yet despite different starting points, we can see that most markets are facing the same core challenges. From grid-smart charging strategies to innovative business models, there are excellent examples of best practices emerging elsewhere in Europe. What will the next thing in electrification be, both in mature and in emerging markets? And what will be possible when the right people and companies come together, sharing knowledge, solving common problems and accelerating the shift to cleaner mobility?
