Hybrid workshop - Smart Charging = Smart UX Design?

Within the thematic workshop, we will present how the usability of smart charging apps can be ensured. We will address the requirements of the users and present results from three different use cases. Study participants will also have the opportunity to interact with and test a prototypical smart charging app. Finally, there will be room for questions and discussions.

Navigating the EV revolution: unlocking opportunities and overcoming challenges of V2G

As the electric vehicle market grows, understanding the complexities of this ecosystem is becoming increasingly crucial. A recent workshop, organized by the FLOW project consortium and hosted by EATON CZ, brought together key stakeholders to explore the opportunities and challenges of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology and EV infrastructure deployment.

Meet our testbed: Copenhagen

Welcome to Copenhagen! In the capital city of Denmark, FLOW will test smart charging across a number of hubs in public and private charging stations. These sites allow for the analysis different consumption patterns, the quantification of the flexibility that can be extracted from each of them, and the testing of price or emissions-based charging or flexibility contracts.
