Open plattform for shared charging infrastruture

Purpose and goal

The purpose of the project was to enable a faster transition towards electrified transports by using an open platform for sharing charging infrastructure. Implementation plans for electrification of the participating actors’ transport fleet have been made. These plans consider CO2 emissions as well as battery size and the use of shared charging infrastructure. The analyses show that sharing charging infrastructure enables both a reduction in CO2 emissions as well as the use of fewer vehicles.

Expected results and effects

Our analyses resulted in implementation plans of how actors can increase the electrification of the fleet. The analyses consider battery sizes, cost savings, emission reduction and number of vehicles. In a larger project, following this study, we aim to take the next step and study the effects of collaborations between actors within sharing charging infrastructure and investigate how this enables an increase in the transition towards electrification and a more sustainable transport system.

Planned approach and implementation

The pre-study evaluated the possibilities of industrial collaboration within sharing charging infrastructure. Analyses of collected quantitative transport data from the actors have been made on both individual and aggregated levels. Qualitative interviews have been made focusing on electrification of vehicles, drivers and barriers for the transition towards electrified vehicles. The results have been presented, discussed and validated in individual workshops, ensuring confidentiality.
