Sabin Posea, General Manager, Eximprod Grup: “The charging network for electric cars needs investors, and the charging services must be paid for by consumers”

Sabin Posea, General Manager, Eximprod Grup @ Grid Integration Of Electric Mobility Forum 2020: The charging network cannot grow indefinitely without investors and without these charging services being paid for by consumers.

“I think the system operator has a challenge that it can address through digitization solutions. Distribution operators have already taken many steps in this direction. Eximprod has had several interesting projects in recent years, including the implementation of a charging network for a car manufacturer, but also a pilot research project for the control of charging stations by the distribution operator in the area of ​​network stability, a project that took place in the Netherlands.

Although the distribution operator cannot operate the stations, he must have a say in their control. The role of Romanian integrators will be quite large. The solutions implemented in some countries cannot be implemented in other countries so the solutions must be adapted to each area. The charging network for electric vehicles cannot grow indefinitely without investors and without these charging services being paid for by consumers.”

The statement has been uttered within the first edition of GRID INTEGRATION OF ELECTRIC MOBILITY FORUM 2020  organized recently by The Diplomat Bucharest.

Electric mobility is the power key-topic of the present demanding a fluent synergy of technology solutions providers, innovators, car producers and energy suppliers. The focus should be maintained on delivering the right technologies to enable a user-friendly integration of electric vehicles into INTELLIGENT POWER GRIDS. 

The event benefited from the support of GOLD PARTNERS Engie, Eximprod Grup, PARTNERS MOOn, Polifazer, ACUE, AFEER, World Energy Council, ARPEE, Asociatia Energia Inteligenta, EFdeN, Sea One, Wave, MEDIA PARTNERS Outsourcing Today, Financial Intelligence, Economistul, Romania Durabila, Club Economic.

The development of smart grid concept in power grid has advanced the role of ELECTRIC VEHICLES to grid technology. In recent years, it has seen an increasing interest in the deployment of Vehicle-to-Grid as a service to users of Electric Vehicles. The integration of grid technology allows bidirectional energy exchange between electric vehicles and the power grid.

Consequently, the automotive industry, the power suppliers and the developers of charging stations will synchronize within safe, feasible and effective smart power grids that include and enable the use of electric vehicles and the innovative technology.

The new era of mobility is already here. Critical technology trends in autonomous driving, electrification, and vehicle communication come with extraordinary pressures beyond the here and now.
