Electrification of mobility is advancing rapidly globally, however significant challenges remain including interoperability, availability of chargers, and strain on the grid. Open source is a way to apply technology development best practices from other industries to meet these challenges.
The session will cover the EEBUS solution for bi-directional charging of EVs. It will explore how EEBUS facilitates the efficient and cost-effective integration of EVs into the grid and their alignment with other flexible loads within the building.
eMobility is getting more and more mature and therefore the fraudsters are now also finding ways to make money or steal your customers details. This will be an introduction into the mind of the fraudster and how you can weapon yourself.
This session explains the role and developments of OCPI on a functional level: What is the basis? Why version 2.3? Compatibility with NAP and other regulations in the world. The developments for HDV with (dynamic) booking support. The changes with v3.0 and the developments that we expect.
In this session, Jesper explains how Monta gather statistics on charge quality across 500 brands, and how this help their customers and hardware partners with choosing the right firmware versions to upgrade to.
In this session, we will demonstrate how to get started with the EVCS Cube and DC charging.
The rapid adoption of complex connected embedded systems, such as electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, telematic control units or battery controllers, has increased the necessity for a robust approach to cybersecurity and auditability. This session explores the application of cybersecurity methodologies and compliance practices to embedded Linux systems, using the design of an EV charging station as a representative example.
This session introduces the background, progress, and future development plans of the OpenChaoJi project, with a focus on highlighting the significant milestone of initiating open-source development in China’s energy sector for the first time.
Managing a fleet of EVs requires different software from private cars. In this session, we will talk through the evolving requirements and standards, such as VDV 463, for combining charge management, fleet management and yard management to help you build next generation systems empower efficient, electric operations for your customers fleets.
In this session, Patrick will talk about the success factors for bidirectional charging (INBID). It requires collaboration across the automotive industry, EVSE manufacturers, and Distribution System Operators (DSOs) worldwide.
Hear from experts and peers and get new ideas. See how others tackle similar challenges, and gain fresh perspectives on your own work. Share experiences and learn together.
