How Municipal Utilities Are Driving the Mobility Revolution

The smarter E Podcast Episode 152 | October 5, 2023 | Language: German

Municipal utilities have a critical role to play in the electrification of road transport. By deploying EVs, building charging stations, and operating their own charging infrastructure, utilities can reap a host of benefits while driving sustainable progress in their local communities. But how can utilities influence large-scale deployment? And what does a municipal approach to electric mobility look like?

We talk to Amélie Wippern from Stadtwerke Heidelberg.
