Last week, Miguel Zarzuela represented INCIT-EV at the RTR Conference 2024, in Brussels.
He took part in the session that focused on the “User-centric charging solutions”, along with representatives from two other Horizon Europe projects:
- Baerte De Brey, SCALE Project coordinator and Vice-President at AVERE – The European Association for Electromobility
- Hugo Morais and Matej Zajc from the EV4EU Project.
These European Projects are also part of the Synergy club created in 2020 upon the initiative of the User-CHI, eSmart, eCharge4drivers and INCIT-EV projects.
Here are the session key takeaways:
- All participants stressed the importance of placing users at the center of the development of charging infrastructures.
- They showcased the solutions developed as part of the INCIT-EV, SCALE and EV4EU Projects to best answer users’ needs and concerns.
- INCIT-EV is paving the way in the field of inductive charging. Our teams designed and implemented the first demonstrator based on EU-made technology aiming at both static and dynamic charging. The existing test enables wireless charging with an efficiency of 90% under laboratory conditions, which is reduced to 85% with some dynamic misalignment.
- Miguel Zarzuela also presented low-cost power electronics developed as part of INCIT-EV, aiming at 250 €/kW for V2G technologies. All projects are waiting for the final implementation of ISO 15118-20 by OEMs, which will enable V2G on a commercial scale.
- EV4EU and SCALE focused on V2X and Grid services provided by emobility.
