Making charging processes for electric vehicle fleets plannable - eLISA project
Making charging processes for electric vehicle fleets plannable - eLISA project-BW gestartet
The Baden-Württemberg Ministry for the Environment, Climate Protection and the Energy Sector is funding eight pilot projects for the intelligent connection of charging infrastructure in car parks and underground car parks (INPUT) to the power grid with a total of 2.9 million euros.
The funding is part of the strategic dialogue on the automotive industry in Baden-Württemberg initiated by the state government. Around 70 institutions and companies are involved in INPUT at 15 locations in the state. In the e-LISA-BW project, the charging infrastructure is being expanded in the Waldhornstraße car park belonging to Parkraumgesellschaft Baden-Württemberg in Karlsruhe - although the grid connection capacity is too small.
This apparent contradiction is resolved by intelligent load management, which utilises information from various data sources. The focus here is on public authorities and companies with vehicle fleets: the charging management system takes into account data from a fleet booking system of the Karlsruhe Regional Council. A further aim is to develop recommendations for action for intelligent charging management in car parks. The key questions are: What information is needed for intelligent charging management? What hurdles need to be overcome?
