Yesterday, Nazim Khiari represented CEER at EVision 2025, organised by Eurelectric, highlighting the findings of our CEER report on electric vehicles. The sustainable development of electric mobility in line with European objectives will be tied to the deployment of recharging infrastructure, the integration of electric mobility into energy systems, and adequate consideration of consumer issues. CEER views in line with these objectives: 🔹 Infrastructure Deployment: Focus on reducing connection delays, incentivising investment, and ensuring equitable access. 🔹 System Integration: Promote smart charging, V2G, and dynamic pricing to optimise grid usage. 🔹 Consumer Protection: Ensure transparency, interoperability, and data privacy to build consumer trust. 🔗 If you are interested in understanding how NRAs can play a role in electric mobility segments, check out our report here: https://lnkd.in/eXzaww7f #ElectricMobility #EVs #SmartCharging #EnergyTransition #ConsumerProtection #SustainableTransport #CEER #Eurelectric #Infrastructure #GridIntegration
