Description

Electric vehicle charging tariff paradigms for the clean energy transition. This project aims to devise innovative public charging systems for electric vehicles, considering flexible ways of billing (not just paying for energy), the infrastructure required, and interaction with user behaviour and the power grid. It will create new knowledge on how to bill people for demanding rapid responses, rather than charging vehicles when renewable energy is plentiful, significantly reducing the demand for energy generation. This requires a new tariff paradigm encouraging vehicles to be plugged in longer without compromising mobility, and calls for suitably accessible charging infrastructure as expected outcomes. The benefits include fostering EV uptake to decarbonise transport and transitioning to the clean energy future.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 3304 - Urban and Regional Planning.
