Echarge4drivers

sales of electric vehicles (evs) are increasing rapidly across europe. however, drivers still often encounter problems in finding appropriate charging options, limiting the ease of use of evs and potentially posing a barrier to increase the uptake of evs. echarge4drivers focuses on this issue and will work to substantially improve the ev charging experience within cities and for long trips. by capturing users’ perceptions and expectations on the various charging options and their mobility and parking habits, echarge4drivers will develop and demonstrate pilot projects in 10 areas across europe, including metropolitan areas and trans-european transport network (ten-t) corridors. charging stations in these areas will offer user-friendly and convenient functionalities for ev drivers of passenger vehicles, motorcycles and light vehicles, such as direct payment methods and bigger, user-friendly displays.
