Electrification of the mobility in the urban environment: challenges and opportunities

Practitioners and policy makers often work in silos and don’t interact/collaborate or even understand the problems of the others involved in electrification of the mobility sector. In this session, key stakeholders involved in the e-mobility topic, namely: public authorities, utility company, research and policy advice are in our panel. They will discuss challenges and opportunities in the light of increasing EV fleet in the coming years and the sense of urgency to (re-)design e-charging in a smart way and to avoid blackouts in the grid, while minimizing the need to invest on large scale grid upgrade.
