Boosting the Electric Vehicle Market in Europe: Plugging the Sustainability Brussels September 19th 2017

Source: Public Policy exchane UK

European Institutions have been key players in encouraging the uptake of cleaner and more efficient vehicles, championing a European strategy and securing financial support through public-private partnerships such as the European Green Vehicles Initiative (EGVI). 2017 is now set to be decisive year for the roll-out of electric recharging infrastructure, in light of the timely submission of Member States’ National Policy Frameworks for the implementation of the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Directive (AFI). The AFI Directive seeks to address consumer anxieties through the deployment of private recharging points, mandating an increase in publicly accessible charging stations and setting EU-wide harmonised standards for charging connectors as well as for user information requirements. These policies support the EU Transport 2050 comprehensive strategy, which set ambitious shifts away from conventionally fuelled cars with the aim of phasing them out of cities completely by 2050.

The automobile industry, which accounts for over 12 million jobs in the EU, will need to rapidly adapt to such a shift in the European economy. Developing innovative solutions to diversify road transport energy sources will not only maintain competitiveness and boost employment, but simultaneously contribute to Europe’s emission reductions. Several important developments have taken place assisting the rollout of a European-wide market for electric and alternative vehicles, though as with any emerging market, some initial problems have hindered its expansion.

Outstanding challenges include a slow consumer uptake, along with a limited range of models available. High costs, long recharge times, emerging safety and standardisation compliance, and a lack of information and awareness, can impact consumer confidence. Further, cooperation between stakeholders, and the question of integrating EV with emerging technologies such as driverless cars and intelligent urban transportation systems, is creating an additional headache for policymakers.

This international symposium invites all key stakeholders for lively discussion on the current framework for electric vehicles and to explore solutions to overcome market barriers whilst plugging the sustainability gap. The symposium will explore the need for flexible partnerships between diverse industries, such as telecommunication, energy providers, manufacturers, suppliers and retailers, to develop innovative solutions across all areas of EV policy and ensure Europe remains a driver of green growth and jobs.

Why attend?
  • Analyse the current policy landscape for electric vehicles at EU level and assess opportunities for investment and development 
  • Gain knowledge and insights on the future implementation of the Clean Energy Package and how to overcome regulatory bottlenecks for e-mobility at the EU and national level 
  • Examine the role of electric and alternative fuel vehicles can play in stimulating green job opportunities and fostering competitiveness 
  • Examine how EV producers to innovate and adapt in order to limit GHG emissions through e-mobility and alternative fuels 
  • Discuss how to overcome the greatest electric mobility challenges, including infrastructure and recharging 
  • Establish clear links between the implementation of EU Directives such as the AFI Directive and the impacts on businesses, consumers and the automobile industry 
  • Develop ways to support national strategies via EU funding in order to foster energy market liberalisation in the automobile market 
  • Take part in lively and interactive discussions with key stakeholders in the field of e-mobility and build lasting partnerships for future collaboration
Date and location event details
Date: Tuesday19th September 2017
