This blog was co-authored by Fadi Halawi (EV Fast Charging Infrastructure Leaderat Schneider Electric) and Roopa Jalakantan (Director of EcoStruxure Power Mission Critical at Schneider Electric). Smartly managing power and energy through an integrated digital solution supports increased profitability, reliability and scalability for fast EV charging infrastructure providers.  As industries like logistics, public transport, mining, and construction expand their fleets of heavy electric vehic...

Charging medium- and heavy-duty electric vehicles requires large amounts of electric power, delivered reliably and efficiently. To meet this challenge, providers will need to combine robust physical equipment with innovative digital technology.  As the world moves towards net zero, decarbonizing the vehicles on our roads is a major challenge facing businesses and governments. They account for almost three quarters of global transportation emissions. And a substantial proportion of those e...

Back then your options were extremely limited. Maybe you’d install some of the early electrical household appliances. Maybe a dimmer here and there. But automation? Or advanced lighting options? That would have required monumental effort. Imagine the wiring required to connect each and every function to an indi...

This audio was created using Microsoft Azure Speech Services EV battery demand is predicted to increase nearly 15-fold from 2020 to 2030 The EV market is skyrocketing. There’s a major EV production bottleneck, though — there aren’t enough batteries to meet current demand. The problem will likely be even more challenging in the future because BNEF predicts battery demand will rise 15-fold from 2020 to 2030 in the Economic Transition Scenario. To meet this growing need, EV battery makers mus...

This audio was created using Microsoft Azure Speech Services Electric vehicles play a key role in combating climate change – but they must be charged sustainably The world is heading toward a wider-ranging and more destructive climate effects if countries don’t meet their emission reduction targets. To mitigate their impact and meet their climate commitments, countries are pursuing a host of sustainability initiatives. Electric vehicle (EV) adoption has a central role in sustainability plans...

This audio was created using Microsoft Azure Speech Services Singapore is showing us its big plans with big minds to developing greener and more sustainable land transport. The Lion City is aiming to cut the sector’s emissions as much as 80% by the middle of the century.  And encouraging eMobility with electric vehicles (EVs) is one of the key pillars of the Singapore Green Plan 2030, which was launched in February last year. In fact, the island nation is hoping to migrate its entire road fle...

This audio was created using Microsoft Azure Speech Services Driving an electric car, even one running on electricity derived from fossil fuels, is better for the environment than cars with internal combustion engines (ICE). The Wall Street Journal demonstrated that, from cradle to grave, the production and operation of electric cars emits less CO2 than ICE vehicles. But the full benefit of electric vehicle (EV) adoption won’t be realized until clean, renewable electricity is the primary fuel;...

This audio was created using Microsoft Azure Speech Services eMobility is evolving—and for the better. Even while there are still obstacles to the electrification of the transport industry, there are many more opportunities worth fighting for. This is especially clear in urban areas where pollution, traffic, and safety are currently significant concerns. If things stay as they are, mobility issues will worsen as population and Economic growth lead to more people owning cars and driving more mi...

This audio was created using Microsoft Azure Speech Services Ports’ increased digitalization and interconnectedness can contribute to cybersecurity risks Ports have accelerated their pace of digitalization. They are leveraging technology to improve efficiency and logistics, achieve port sustainability goals, and streamline processes. For instance, ports are adopting connected technology, automating equipment and processes, enabling remote access and control, and connecting OT and IT networks....

This audio was created using Microsoft Azure Speech Services What is the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR)? The European Union aims to reduce transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2050. To meet this goal, electric vehicle adoption will need to grow significantly. The Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR), a cornerstone of the EU’s Fit for 55 package, plays an important role in supporting EV adoption by ensuring there is a comprehensive charging...
