E-Mobility: Getting Smart with Data
Publication - June 2019
You are about to enter the world of electric mobility, more specifically the world of public-charging infrastructure for electric mobility. Over the past five years, researchers, teachers, and students, together with municipalities, research institutes, and companies have gathered and analysed the charging data of public-charging infrastructure in the Netherlands. Together, we aimed to get smart, based on data, facts, and figures.
Experiments, Evaluations and Simulations
We achieved this through experiments, evaluations of roll-out policies, and by developing computational models to simulate the future. There are many ways to determine whether, where, and what charging infrastructure to install. Demand-driven roll-out strategies have been applied alongside the strategic placement of charging stations. Both regular and fast charging points have been installed and monitored. Stand-alone charging stations with two sockets and charging hubs have been put in place. Smart-charging experiments have been conducted at AC charging stations, and battery packs for solar energy storage have been installed.
Roll-out of Public-charging Infrastructure
This book captures 5 years of research results on the roll-out of public-charging infrastructure. We don’t expect you to read it from A to Z! To find the subject of your interest, we have developed the 4-5-6 system, which includes icons for each charging infrastructure category, policy field, and user group.
Navigating the Book
Each article is marked with icons based on its content. If you want to read more about taxis, choose the articles with the taxi icon. Do you want to know more about charging hubs? Choose the articles with the icon for a charging hub. Colour codes direct you to the appropriate page, or you can select your articles from the contents overview.
