Deliverable 3.1 Business Analysis - Green eMotion Project

3.1.8 Other demonstration projects
Since the so far mentioned demonstrations make no claim to be complete, the present paragraph is
supposed to give a short idea of other European projects in the field of electro mobility research. The
following information is mainly based on general, publicly available information from the project’s web
sites. If there was information copied, the corresponding sources are indicated accordingly.
3.1.8.1 E-Mobility Italy
The E-Mobility Italy project started in 2009 as a pilot project for test of an electric mobility framework
(infrastructure, marketplace and ICT) by using EVs in 3 pilot cities (Pisa, Rome, Milan) with few hundreds
of Li-Ion battery cars and up to 400 private/public recharging spots.
The demonstration of the framework is already ongoing on several topics, such as: intelligent recharging
infrastructure based on electricity meter technology, technical solutions and open standard, able to
support both the existing vehicles as well as new generation vehicles, identification technologies and
communication between EVs and network, design of a electric mobility management system aiming at
providing service to the end user on a marketplace: on this point please refer to the stakeholder section in
the following chapter.
3.1.8.2 Mobi.E 20 (Portugal)
This project was started at the beginning of 2008 on behalf of the Portuguese government. One central
goal is to improve quality of live through the usage of electric mobility concepts. Since Portugal’s energy
supply system is heavily based on renewable energy sources (approx. 50%), the integration of these
power sources is mandatory.
The following companies jointly work together on the Mobi.E project:
• Siemens
• Inteli
• Rener Living Lab
• Ceiia-CE
• Remobi Brandia Central EDP Inovacao
• Novabase
• Critical Software
• Efacec
• Magnum Cap
In order to enable convenient charging, starting from July 2011, 1,300 normal charging spots and 50 fast
charging spots can be accessed by registered users. While normal charging stations are mainly installed
in urban areas, fast charging spots can mainly be found in primary roads and highways. To provide
authentication and identification, a Mobi.E card is necessary.
There will be three types of MOBI.E cards:
