EY predicts that by 2030 there will be more than 75m electric vehicles (EVs) roaming across different charging networks in Europe. With each stakeholder in the EV ecosystem generating data, this rapid uptick in volume will heighten the importance of interoperability and information sharing. A new report from EY and European energy industry body Eurelectric – How do we solve the challenge of data interoperability in e-mobility?– explores how the sharing of data in a non-discriminatory and standardized way will help improve the overall EV experience for consumers and unlock value for ecosystem players.
Serge Colle, EY Global Energy & Resources Leader, says:
“eMobility is about more than just the technological switch from combustion engines to electric vehicles. It’s about connecting the worlds of transport, energy and the built environment, and the future value that this interconnectedness can deliver.
Realising this future state, however, depends on data interoperability and information sharing between stakeholders – and getting there is a challenge. Overcoming this will help to improve the overall EV experience and enable ecosystem players to unlock value from a raft of new opportunities.”
The report assesses data interoperability across three principal eMobility activities, exploring key interactions and the current maturity of data transfer, as well as outlining opportunities and solutions:
Charging station optimization: Strategically sited charging stations provide EV users with easy access and convenience, reducing range anxiety, enhancing the driver experience, and encouraging widespread EV adoption. In Europe, the number of public charging points has increased by 40%, from around 530,000 in 2022 to 744,000 in 2023, but as EV uptake accelerates, there will need to be an ongoing and proportional increase. Improving data interoperability can provide insights into where new charging stations are required based on driver usage-patterns and…
