ChargeUp Europe

💡New position paper released!💡 Smart charging is a game-changer in #emobility, but more needs to be done. 🔋Smart charging adjusts the intensity of electricity delivered to an electric vehicle's battery in real-time based on electronic communication. It can optimize grid capacity by adapting #EV charging to the needs of both the grid and consumers. Smart charging can: ⚡️ increase peak network capacity ⚡️ integrate renewable energy ⚡️ reduce energy curtailment ⚡️ cut grid upgrade costs, saving €29 billion annually and lowering CO2 emissions significantly ⚡️ reduce costs for EV owners. To unlock the full potential of smart charging, existing barriers must be removed. Recent EU legislation is a step in the right direction, but effective implementation is crucial to make smart, fast charging available for all.

Great news on the growth of fast-charging infrastructure! We've passed the 100,000 mark of DC chargers across the EU, reducing charging times and enhancing user experience. ⏩🔋

🚀 Exciting news from Shell for e-HDV! 🚛⚡ Shell just inaugurated its first self-developed Megawatt Charging System (MCS) for electric trucks (and shipping vessels) in Amsterdam! "There are not that many electric trucks and vessels yet, so with this we’re investing ahead of the market that is growing quickly" says Hilmar Van Den Dool, General Manager of #eMobility at Shell. "We want to help decarbonise our customers in the logistics sector." ☀️ Powered by 3,600 solar panels, the megawatt charger is equipped to charge heavy-duty trucks and buses (as well as shipping vessels) simultaneously. It is integrated into a smart microgrid, combining energy supply, storage, and demand. Fantastic to see our member Shell Recharge Solutions' latest achievement in heavy-duty #EVcharging and energy system integration!

Market Readiness: Influencing Factors for EV Adoption ⚡ Check the latest analysis conducted by ChargeUp Europe's partner Gireve! It highlights a strong correlation between GDP per capita and the market share of Battery Electric Vehicles (#BEVs). A powerful reminder of the importance of: 🚗 diversifying the range of EV offerings 💶 purchase subsidies and other financial initiatives 🌍 making EVs accessible to a broader audience. Thanks for the great insights, Gireve, and to Amandine De Oliveira for presenting the full study to our members! 🔋 Let's bring these EVs to EU drivers!

Last week our Board members met in Brussels for far-ranging discussions, from grid bottlenecks to EV uptake to uptime or the strategic partnerships our sector is actively building. The #EuropeanElections offer opportunities to strengthen the energy, competitiveness and industrial agenda, building on strong progress in road transport electrification - as we also told the office of #EP President Roberta Metsola. Our members are busy shaping a seamless e-mobility ecosystem for EV drivers of all types - we're ready to accelerate work with them!

📢 Join us on 26 June for a WEBINAR on “RED III Credit Mechanism: how to set it up at the national level?” ⚡🔌 Get ready to learn about the right design for national credit mechanisms to support the rollout of EV charging infrastructure across the EU ! 📆 Date & Time: June 26th, 11:00 - 12:15 CET. 📍 Platform: Online 📮 Register here: https://lnkd.in/egUF3T33 Meet the speakers who will share their extensive field expertise from an EV charging perspective: 🔹Dr. Dr. Arthur Marronnier (Head of Energy - Electra) 🔹Dr. Dr. Moritz Bohland(Head of Business Operations - reev)

🚗⚡️ ACEA and ChargeUp Europe join hands to build a seamless e-mobility ecosystem! ⚡️🚗 We're thrilled to announce that European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) and ChargeUp Europe are coming together to develop a seamless #eMobility ecosystem. This marks a significant milestone in our partnership. The shift to #electricvehicles (EVs) is transforming energy, transport, and digital systems, creating a new, integrated ecosystem. Our organisations commit to enhancing transparency and collaborating towards creating added value together. Amongst the priority areas for collaboration and alignment: 🔧 Tackling grids; 🔄 Bringing the benefits of flexibility to EV drivers; 🤝 Driving more joined-up EU decision-making. Building on our March 6, 2024 Board-to-Board meeting, this dialogue represents our collective effort to self-organise and collaboratively build the foundations of the new ecosystem. 🌍🔋🚀 Read the full joint ACEA-ChargeUp Europe declaration here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eqr9JK_Y #ElectricMobility #SustainableTransport #GreenEnergy #ACEA Lucie Mattera Sigrid de Vries

🚀 Major drop!! We are excited to release our implementation guide on the RED III credit mechanism for EV charging infrastructure! 🌱 Do you know what RED III stands for? 🔋 The Renewable Energy Directive (RED III) provides that Member States create a marketplace for the credits generated by delivering electricity to Electric Vehicles (EVs) via charging infrastructure. We created an practical guide to help national authorities develop these credit mechanisms. 📘 Our guide offers an in-depth look at the RED III credit scheme and current systems in France, Germany, Austria, Belgium, and the Netherlands, providing valuable insights and lessons learnt for other Member States. 🛠️ It also provides practical recommendations for implementing the credit mechanism at the national level, drawing from the first-hand experience of ChargeUp Europe's members. 🌍 This guide will facilitate the timely and ambitious creation of credit mechanisms that promote private investment, expand EV charging across the EU, and help EU countries meet their charging infrastructure deployment targets. Read the guide (in all EU languages!) here! 👉 https://lnkd.in/ev5H72Kr With warm gratitude to the ChargeUp Europe members who contributed technical expertise to develop it!!
