Approaches to the development of EV infrastructure depending on the prediction of the development of electric mobility in the EU

Abstract

The subject of this article is to better understand the relationship between develop-ment of electric vehicle charging infrastructure in connection with development of electric vehicles sales in Europe. Optimal set-up among these two main elements of emerging e-mobility sector has principal effect on currently running policy discus-sions (targets setting within Revision of Directive on Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Deployment), business models of charging point operator / e-mobility provider as well as further positive perspectives of electric vehicle sales in Europe.
Article summarizes key assumptions of methodology used by ChargeUp Europe (pro-fessional association of leading charging point operators) and concludes, that in-creasing utilization of EV infrastructure assets is not at the centre of methodology assumptions nor conclusions (of main scenario), which might collude with sustaina-bility of charging point / mobility providers business models.

Key words: business model of charging point operators, Power / BEV ratio, target setting whithin AFIR revision
