The European Parking Association (EPA) has asked UPT to conduct a new research project on charging infrastructure for electric vehicles (EVs). Here you can read more about the background and details of this research project.
EVs
In the past years, there has been a dramatic increase in the sale of EVs in Europe. This pattern is likely to continue in the future. With this increase also comes the increase in problems associated with EVs, such as charging stations availability, profitability, safety, grid performance, and more. This charging aspect of EVs is exactly what this research will specifically focus on.
Main goal
The main goal of this project is to map out the strengths and weaknesses of the European charging system. Additionally, the potential role of parking is explored. Interested readers have to wait a few months to know the results and conclusion of this research, which will be available by June 2022.
