Rethinking energy sources for mobility

Abstract

There's a recurring question: What would happen if all ICE vehicles were replaced with EVs tomorrow? Is this question relevant? How could we charge them all with green, renewable energy? Could we charge them at all or would our grids be overburdened by the amount of energy needed? What have the experiences been so far? Spoiler alter: EVs might not be as simple a solution as we want them to be. This session explores what we actually mean by smart energy and brings experience from GreenCharge and elsewhere that prove how difficult it can be. What is a pragmatic way forward to integrate and mitigate our transport and energy needs?
