Deliverable 3.1 Business Analysis - Green eMotion Project

3.2 Conclusion from Previous Projects and Experiences
After presenting some short project summaries, a number of conclusions can be drawn. Through this,
differences in the project’s main goals, as well as the project’s target groups and the used energy sources
can be identified. Moreover, the demonstration dimensions are considered in more detail.
In terms of the project’s main goals, G4V is the only project exclusively focusing on the effects that can
occur with a mass scale EV roll out. All the remaining demonstrations aim to develop the needed
infrastructure in terms of charging spots and ICT systems. Therefore, the G4V project results can be seen
as prerequisites to the successful pan-European e-Mobility introduction.
With regard to the demonstration’s target groups, there are differences as well: Although most
demonstrations focus on the private EV use, with FutureFleet there is another project specifically
focusing on the opportunities of EVs as company cars. Since Green eMotion is expected to cover both
scenarios, private and company driven EV use, experiences gained through FutureFleet can be used as
well.
Regarding the energy sources used in demonstration projects, two different approaches can be found:
While G4V and e-IKT aim to fit their charging facilities into existing grids, for instance MeRegioMobil,
EDISON and FutureFleet try to only use renewable energy sources for their proposed infrastructures.
Since there are essential differences in energy supplies among the participating partners and the energy
grids they are working with, Green eMotion in the end should be able to support both kinds of energy
supplies as well as different setups resulting from them.
Another differentiation that can be conducted between the presented projects is assessing the
demonstration dimensions. As it can be seen through the project descriptions, there are projects focusing
on smaller groups of participants (such as MeRegioMobil, CROME, Future Fleet and EDISON at its first
project phase) but as well projects considering EV mass scale introduction, as there is e-IKT, ELVIRE
and again G4V. For e-Mobility partners large scale demonstrations appear to be more important since the
project shall lay the cornerstone for a pan-European e-Mobility infrastructure. But nevertheless, results
from smaller demonstrations should be considered carefully as well since they can provide hints on
geographically specific characteristics and circumstances.
Now from Green eMotion’s perspective it is important to both understand the proposed project concepts,
as well as the limitations and prerequisites that come with them. In addition to that, the modifications that
need to be undertaken in order to project the results from small demonstrations to large scale EV
introductions is to be performed in line with Green eMotion.
In order to successfully conduct this task, the following paragraph will provide the different project’s
critical success factors, followed by an analysis with regard to their importance to Green eMotion.
