Future of EV Charging

Charging infrastructure for electric vehicles will be the key factor for ensuring a smooth transition to e-mobility. It is here, that five technologies will play a vital role in the EV charging infrastructure: smart charging (including vehicle-to-grid V2G technology), charging of EVs from photovoltaic panels, (ultra)fast charging, contactless charging and on-road charging of EVs. With the use of smart charging, the EV charging power and direction can be continuously controlled. Smart charging of EVs can provide several benefits to the EV owner and to the providers of the EV charging infrastructure like reduced peak demand on the grid and reduced cost.
