Unlocking Sustainable E-Mobility: Redefining Charging Infrastructure

Wednesday, June 19, 2024, 11:00 am - 12:30 pm

ICM München Room 13 B

Be involved in an exciting session on the future of sustainable e-mobility. We will explore the key role of charging infrastructure and its contribution to a greener future. Learn from research experts and industry leaders how battery size affects power consumption and convenience, and why we need smaller cars and more charging stations. Session topics include smart charging for a greener and cheaper grid, empowering sustainability with battery storage, AI revolutionizing fleet energy usage, and charging event optimization.The aim of this session is to provide an overview of measures to make e-mobility more sustainable when it comes to charging infrastructure and to initiate discussions between participants that will continue throughout the conference. Don't miss your chance to shape the e-mobility charging landscape of tomorrow!

Tuesday, June 18, 2024, 09:30 am - 11:00 am

ICM München Room 1

This is the beginning of the end of the fossil fuel era, explained UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Dubai last December. For the first time, the world community agreed to"transition away from fossil energy carriers" in order to limit the global temperature rise to 1.5° Celsius, sending a clear signal - also to investors. With a record deployment of 473 gigawatts of renewableenergy sources in 2023, we're on the right track, but we need to move faster, especially when it comes to expanding the required infrastructure such as grids, storage systems, and e-mobility. We will need sustainable solutions on all grid levels and in all sectors to meet the challenges of a renewable 24/7energy supply. How can the energy industry become climate neutral asquickly as possible? What challenges are utilities facing and how can they overcome them? Join us at our opening session, allow yourself to be inspired, and motivated to work towards a fossil fuel-free world!

Andreas Richter, DEKRA SE

R&D Manager

A technical expert with a passion for electromobility - this is Dipl.-Ing. Andreas Richter, R&D Manager at DEKRA. He has almost 15 years of experience in the field of e-mobility, a topic that has been a recurring theme throughout his career: After studying mechatronics with a focus on vehicle mechatronics, Andreas was in charge of cross-divisional electromobility services from 2010 on and set up a DEKRA Group-wide E-Mobility Competence Center. In his current position as R&D Manager, two topics are particularly close to his heart: the electrical safety of vehicles and determining the State of Health of the EV battery. Andreas is also the founder of DEKRA's Battery Test for Electric Cars, a unique, patented procedure for determining the battery SoH.
