This SEEV4-City webinar will focus on how electromobility can be further boosted in Europe with the support of renewable energy sources and the smart and efficient use of energy infrastructures.

The project will provide regulatory and policy recommendations which will be presented here.

From Operational Pilot insights to SUMEPs – why and how do we need more integration of Mobility, Energy and Grid planning?
Richard Kotter – University of Northumbria
Newcastle
Richard will focus on suggestions for policy recommendations that have emerged from the SEEV4-City partners, and how SEEV4-City is processing these into wider policy recommendations. It will also do so in the context of Business Models that need to underpin but also need to be helped by a range of policies.
