Second Thematic Workshop: Smart Charging in Action: Tools & Lessons from the Field

In the workshop, we will explore how new business models and economic opportunities are driving the development of e-mobility, with a particular focus on Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) integration—enabling electric vehicles to interact with home energy systems as active components. We will also examine how the EVrich solution supports coordinated and grid-aware electric vehicle routing for urban charging hotspots, optimizing routes and charging points based on energy availability. Finally, practical insights will be shared from the deployment of a direct current (DC) microgrid in Prague, highlighting Behind-the-Meter (BTM) optimization and its integration with energy management systems (EMS/BEMS), offering a comprehensive view of real-world challenges and opportunities.

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.

Groundbreaking innovations in V2X technologies from European Partners

As the shift towards sustainable energy systems accelerates, innovations in electric vehicle (EV) charging technologies and grid integration are playing a pivotal role in transforming how energy is consumed and shared. Across Europe, collaborative efforts among leading researchers, industry pioneers, and infrastructure developers are unlocking new possibilities for Vehicle-toEverything (V2X) technologies and smart charging solutions.
