The first two are being addressed bymarket forces, The third hinges on charge point operators(CPOs) securing pernissions to install infrastructure, and ongrid operalors, which sre responsible for connecting power tothe charge points, The whole prermise of eMobility depends,however, on 8 safe and resilient grid, supported by technologysolutions to mitigate the impsct of EVs on local networks.And, to that end, distribution systern operators (DSOs) are thelynchpins in making this evolution in transport happen.This study focuses on the anticipated surge in EV ssles 8crossAuthorsEurope (the EU27, plus Norwsy, Switzerlnd and the UK) andthe charging infrastructure that is required to support it.

Adoption of eMobility is not just an economic or environmental phenomenonForewordThe pece of change is swift, but customers can both drive the transition andstop it in its tracks. EV adoption will truly accelerate when the hearts and mindlsare won; when there is greater choice of affordable vehicles; whenquickly and reliably: and when the driver experience is simple and seamlessirrespective of EV typewith the predicted 130 million EVs on the roads by 2035.

Smart charging will manage capacity anc preventthe grid from buckling under the pressure of millions of EVs plugging in at thesame time. It will use algorithms to read grid load and to shift EV demand to tirmeswhen green energy is plentiful and cheap.

What we invest in and design todaywill serve us long into the future, The cieployment of smart grids is foundationalto giving DsOs the information they need about the grids they operate,while analysis of current and future needs will enable them to determine gridreinforcement or flexilbility solutions to cater for EVs• Innovation at the grid level must complement and boost convenience for thecustomer.
