Part 3: Speech by Ralf Jacob of the European Commission at ESB’s Conversation with Regulators on Innovation in Payment Services, 18 January 2018 in The Hague.

EV adoption is growing rapidly and by 2030 we expect over 80 million fully electric and plug-in hybrid cars and vans on European roads. But what impact will this additional energy demand have on our electricity grid?

Smart charging will play a critical role in ensuring we have a balanced grid and also has several benefits for the EV driver such as cheaper and lower carbon charging.

In this webinar Delta-EE and ev.energy explore how companies can use smart charging to build attractive propositions, gain high value customers and help drive growth for your business. We discuss:

– What is ‘smart charging’ and why we need it
– Driver pain points that can be overcome using smart charging
– Smart charging propositions in market and EV driver reactions
– Case Study: Real-world Smart Charging solutions to apply to your business
