As their main objectives ELVIRE aims to develop an effective communication and service platform to help<br />

drivers to overcome range anxiety by better managing their EV charging and enabling them to locate<br />

available and reachable charge spots and battery switch stations. On this way, the project aims to<br />

develop both an on-board driver assistance and communication system as well as external management<br />

services.<br />

The driver assistance and communication system shall provide, collect and exchange information<br />

between the service provider and EV user. The information covers forecasts about the remaining driving<br />

range as well as status updates for all relevant infrastructures within this range.<br />

External services with regard to electricity management systems will then process EV user data and<br />

combine them with corresponding infrastructure information. With help of that, customers may in the end<br />

choose between several offers regarding information, service handling and accounting from multiple<br />

service companies.<br />

Occurring privacy and security requirements are core aspects to the project as well.<br />

Results that are to be acquired throughout the project:<br />

• Identifying potential business models to cover given typical scenarios<br />

• Bringing together both car manufacturing and supply companies as well as service experts,<br />

independent research and development capacities and utilities<br />

• Demonstrating the effectiveness of the approach to gain a higher customer awareness and<br />

acceptance regarding EV usage<br />

Identification: ID cards will be issued by the users home EVSP. Better Place is therefore developing<br />

project specific ID cards.<br />

Billing services: The backend system HORST is responsible for both collecting and routing billing<br />

information between all parties involved. Roaming functionality shall be guaranteed as well since charging<br />

at different EVSE charging spots shall be possible.<br />

Additional services:<br />

• Location based reminders<br />

• Smart navigation<br />

• Continuous monitoring on battery level, situation, charging spot/battery swap station availability<br />

The exact payment means offered during the demonstration is to be defined by Better Place.<br />
