SCALE Project’s Post

Learning by doing ✏ #NatureCommunications have published an article that disseminate learnings from a use case from the SCALE Project. Written by Utrecht University, Delft University of Technology, Stedin, our member ElaadNL, and others, the study shows that during #SmartCharging of #EVs, charging breaks can double its effectiveness. The result? Saving of money, and allowing space for twice as many #ChargingStations barring a grid overload. 🚘 🎉 Want to find out more? Check out the article below 👇

Some interesting research & insights shared on smart charging shared by the SCALE Project. Similar findings as those identified in the #AgileStreets project in the UK a couple of years ago. Optimising charging sessions through smart charging (scheduled, delayed, pausing session, load management) can provide significant benefits to customers and provide critical grid resilience! Check out the insights from this project which was delivered by an experienced consortium of industry experts and academics. #smartcharging #evcharging #zeroemission #gridresilience #netzero

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have achieved a breakthrough in wireless EV charging, reaching a power level of 100 kilowatts with their magnetic coils, which allowed a Hyundai Kona EV to gain 50% battery charge, translating to about 150 kilometers of range, in under 20 minutes. This advancement is part of a decade-long effort to develop wireless charging technology, with companies like WiTricity and Electreon making significant strides. The Oak Ridge team envisions these systems being integrated into parking spaces for convenient charging during short stops, and they are working on enhancing the system’s energy transfer efficiency. Meanwhile, Electreon’s electrified roads in Europe demonstrate the potential for dynamic charging to reduce battery size and extend battery life.

V2G technology benefits the EV industry by making electric vehicles more efficient, affordable, and sustainable. It enhances energy resilience and cost savings, especially for electric school buses and fleet operators, by reducing costs and charging times. This drives a greener future and supports global energy storage projects. Perhaps most stunning will be energy / electrons becoming egalitarian with time of use arbitrage. Electron good vibrations becoming the the more real than crypto global alternative currency.

I am thrilled to announce that my latest research paper, "Charging into the Future: Unraveling the Factors Shaping Electric Vehicle Adoption and Addressing Heterogeneity," co-authored with Dr. Iman Mahdinia and Dr. Asad Khattak, has been accepted and published in the SAE International Journal of Sustainable Transportation, Energy, Environment, & Policy! 🌿🚗 This study explores consumer preferences for electric vehicles (EVs) and highlights the role of clean energy sources like solar panels in EV adoption. The findings aim to contribute to global efforts toward a more sustainable, cleaner transportation future.

Independent academic research from Cornell University (Polina Alexeenko, Vasileios Charisopoulos) demonstrates that giving acces to a shared battery resource can substantially reduce deployed battery capacity, while ensuring to meet mobility needs. The authors indicate that trailer-mounted batteries are of particular relevance to this analysis. While using fully independent methodologies and data for evaluating the benefits of smart powerbank trailers to optimise the use of batteries, the results of this paper and EP Tender's own modelling are completely aligned. The user benefits go beyond the mere optimisation of battery usage (and cost): the driver no longer needs to spend time for charging as the add-on battery is attached, swapped or detached in 2 minutes, providing instant additional range to mass market affordable EVs! See on this link a demo of EP TENDER's shared battery approach, the current stage of development and the resulting seamless user experience: https://lnkd.in/eST--H52 https://lnkd.in/dUnJeuMQ

“Study Finds New Zealand Drivers Set To Embrace #DynamicWirelessCharging For #EVs “ “The University Of Auckland Reveals New Zealand Drivers Are Positive About The Prospect Of Dynamic Wireless Charging For EVs” Michael Phoon - June 29, 2024 “The study conducted by doctoral candidate Ramesh Majhi, senior lecturer Prakash Ranjitkar, and senior research fellow Selena Sheng, researched 1,150 current and potential #EVowners and found that 93% of respondents expressed optimism about the #EVtechnology and expressed intent to try it in the future regard.” “Dynamic Wireless Charging In detail, dynamic #wirelesschargingtechnology would allow EVs to #charge their #batteries while in motion. Although not yet available, this innovation could revolutionize #EVcharging by making it more #convenient and #lesstimeconsuming .” “Notably, #convenience emerged as the most compelling advantage of #wirelesscharging among survey participants. The technology is viewed as a potential complement to existing #stationarychargingstations , offering a #seamlesschargingexperience for #EVusers .” “Interestingly, the study also found that individuals who prioritize #sustainability are more inclined to support and use dynamic wireless EV charging. “ https://lnkd.in/eecgdJ7F Source - original post Read all my posts #MariusPreston

In partnership with Western Gateway STB, we have published our Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Study to provide an evidence base to support future EV charging policy across the region. The study is available here – https://lnkd.in/duptFUbd EV use is set to accelerate and the number of public charge points must be able to cope with demand, ensuring that EV users can travel around the peninsula with the confidence of being able to top up when needed. The data from the study will help local authorities to understand where, how many and what type of chargers will be required. The study takes into account the split between rural and urban demand, seasonal changes in demand, as well as likely areas of private sector investment. Already, these findings have played a vital role - for example, in shaping Cornwall’s EV infrastructure strategy. This will, in turn, help to support an application for LEVI funding. As of January 2023, there was a total of 2,408 existing chargers already operating in the region. However, by 2025 up to 13,400 chargepoints would be required, increasing to up to 54,800-74,400 by 2035. These charge points would be provided by both the public and private sector, with the public sector expected to deliver 10,600-20,000 charge points across the South West by 2030. Next steps include the development of a spatial planning tool for uptake, an online dashboard which will allow councils to cross-examine the data in detail and to set up a South West EV forum. We will continue to share our work as it progresses so be sure to follow for more updates. #ElectricVehicles #Study #Data #SouthWest #Transport

The race to develop ultrafast charging technologies is accelerating, promising to revolutionize how we power our devices and vehicles.
