EV Charging

There is a new standard for secure information exchange between electric vehicles, charging stations and mobility service providers, called ISO 15118. With industry-wide adoption increasing, and legislators recommending and even considering mandating ISO 15118, it is important to understand the implications of this standard.

While in 2012, just 120 000 electric cars were sold worldwide, in 2021, more than that number were sold each week. Some 10% of all global car sales were electric in 2021, four times the market share in 2019. The total number of electric cars in the world is now nearly 17 million, three times as many as there...

The World Health Organisation has declared air pollution as one of the biggest threats to human health. Making up an estimated 15% of the world’s CO2 emissions, motor vehicles are the biggest single source of air pollution. Switching to EVs can cut millions of tonnes of harmful greenhouse gas emissions per year and the associated running costs are considerably...

Transport is the fastest-growing contributor to climate change. Road transport alone accounts for approximately 20% of carbon dioxide emissions in the EU. About half of all vehicles on the road today are registered to corporate organizations. This means that corporates play an incredibly important role in leading the transition to a more sustainable transport system. Switching to a low-emission...

In Europe, Italy lags behind in terms of electric vehicle market share. However, recent sales and new policies indicate that this is changing in a fast pace. To anticipate this growth, Italy will have to invest heavily in charging infrastructure to support electrified vehicles. This paper models a scenario where electric vehicles reach a 68% sales share by 2030....

The inevitable increase of the number of electric vehicles on the road brings with it new and imminent challenges for our power grids. The ‘Power sector accelerating e-mobility’ report examines these challenges and also the opportunities for power and utilities companies. Moreover, it identifies what these companies can do to contribute to the adoption of e-Mobility.

The Arcadis Global Electric Vehicle Catalyst Index 2021 starts off with the conclusion that the global transition from internal combustion engines (ICE) to low-emission vehicles is happening at a fast rate. By 2040, EV’s will constitute over half of all car sales, effectively shaping the future of travel.

In decarbonising the transport sector, we need not only look at electric mobility, but also at transport policy. This is one of the main findings in the discussion paper ‘Cleaner Vehicles and Charging Infrastructure’, published by the World Bank Group. Without a sustainable transport policy, the e-mobility revolution will only lead to ‘cleaner congestion’.
