EV Charging explores the crucial role of charging infrastructure in the shift to electric mobility, arguing that strategic investment and technological advances are vital for widespread EV adoption.
The book highlights that while EV technology has progressed rapidly, the availability and reliability of charging networks lag, causing "range anxiety."
Interestingly, the book uses real-world charging session data to provide empirical insights into user behavior and grid impact, and it also looks at the economic costs associated with the deployment, operation, and maintenance of charging networks.
The book adopts a holistic approach, integrating economic, technological, and policy considerations.
It begins by contextualizing the EV charging landscape within the broader history of automotive technology and energy infrastructure, then progresses through an economic analysis of charging networks, an exploration of technological innovations, and an assessment of policy and regulatory frameworks.
The book emphasizes smart charging platforms, wireless charging solutions, and grid integration as key areas of development.
Ultimately, EV Charging proposes a roadmap for future infrastructure development, incorporating technological advancements, policy recommendations, and business model innovations.
