As electric vehicles are rapidly becoming a part of our lives, the charging infrastructure, one of the greatest needs of these vehicles, continues to expand. The latest move came with the collaboration of Siemens and E.ON. The two giant companies are preparing to install smart and efficient fast charging stations for millions of vehicles across Europe. As part of the project, at least 1,000 new public high-power charging points will be installed each year in countries such as Germany, Italy, Sweden and the UK.
Siemens and E.ON in a major partnership: Expanding electric vehicle charging infrastructure in Europe
This cooperation is not just about a simple expansion of charging points. With the SICHARGE D charging system from Siemens, four charging points can be connected to a single electricity grid . This system will ensure that the charging infrastructure is both efficient and flexible.
This means that different needs in different regions can be easily met. Moreover, these charging stations are planned to be suitable not only for personal electric vehicles, but also for trucks and large vehicles . In this project, Siemens will also add value to E.ON by providing energy management solutions supported by the Internet of Things (IoT).
This means that users will not only be able to charge their batteries, but also optimize their energy consumption. Thanks to this infrastructure, which E.ON and Siemens are working on together, it is said that the use of electric vehicles across Europe will become much more attractive.
With this project, a big step is being taken towards a greener transport infrastructure in Europe and the UK. Long journeys will now be even easier for electric vehicle owners. Fast charging stations will prevent charging problems over long distances and will contribute to more people switching to electric vehicles.
So, do you think these new charging infrastructures will be enough to increase the use of electric vehicles in Europe? What steps should be taken to improve the charging infrastructure in Turkey? You can write your opinions in the comments section below.
