DISCOVER THE POTENTIAL OF ELECTRIC MOBILITY

Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly competitive for clean transportation. When using renewable-based electricity EVs offer a substantial opportunity to mitigate climate change and to lessen local polluting emissions.

The main challenges are reducing the costs of battery packs, improving energy density and expanding the recharging network. As battery costs continue to decline, the viability of EVs will only increase and EVs will become the low cost option for a wider range of users. According to IRENA’s EV 2017 report, the global stock of electric vehicles passed the 2 million mark in 2016. This rapid rise has been led by China, U.S., Japan and several European countries. IRENA’s 2016 global renewable energy roadmap projects a total number of EVs of 50 million units by 2030.

8,000 GWh of batteries could be in operation in light duty vehicles (LDVs) around the world by 2030. The global EV charging infrastructure market is expected to reach USD 45.59 billion by 2025, according to a report by Grand View Research, Inc. With the potential for EV components, infrastructure and services growing exponentially, Power2Drive Europe 2018 will help you to enter and capture a share of this exciting market.

MARKET LEADERS IN MUNICH

In recent years, the number of companies with e-mobility solutions at ees and Intersolar Europe in Munich has grown steadily. Companies as Tesla, Mitsubishi, GP Joule, Delta, Parkstrom, ebee, Siemens and ABB are already exhibiting at The smarter E Europe exhibitions. The new Power2Drive completes that offer and gives providers of e-mobility and charging technologies a new home.

FROM PART OF TO THE PLACE TO BE

Renewable energies, energy storage and e-mobility play a central role in achieving climate protection targets. As efficient and environmentally friendly mobility solutions, electric vehicles have an important contribution to make to the energy transition. The Power2Drive highlights the significance of electric cars for the energy mix and transport of the future. It introduces, innovative charging solutions, battery concepts and business models for sustainable e-mobility. Renewable energies and e-mobility are an optimal combination. For this reason, the topic of e-mobility is receiving increasing attention from exhibitors, visitors and the accompanying program at the events of The smarter E Europe – and now more than ever with the unique, new brand of Power2Drive Europe.

THE SMARTER E – THE NEW ENERGY WORLD

The global energy industry is undergoing a radical transformation. Digitalization and decentralization are changing the face of the energy world for good. Renewable energy has become a crucial part of our energy supply system, with global investments in renewables surpassing those made in fossil energy sources for the first time in 2015. If renewable energy is to compete against conventional sources of energy, it is not enough to simply improve how it is generated. Instead, the fields of generation, energy storage, distribution and consumption must be connected seamlessly and intelligently.

In order to give all these aspects the attention they deserve, the organizers of Intersolar and ees are taking the logical step of combining all topics and events concerning the new energy world under a new umbrella called The smarter E.

The smarter E will not only be a new umbrella brand, but will also act as a strong link between Intersolar, ees, and the new EM-Power and Power2Drive exhibitions. The smarter E will also create additional opportunities for addressing all the key areas along the energy value chain by providing the important topics and formats – from exhibitions, conferences and forums, to workshops, dedicated events and collaborations – with a permanent home under the new umbrella. This will allow new areas of focus to be set and better integrated, the latest developments to be addressed in more detail, and discussions between the various sectors and industries to be more actively encouraged. By following this approach, The smarter E will enable us to look at the bigger picture and beyond.

The smarter E is also a response to the developments taking place in our exhibiting companies, which are relying increasingly on integrated and intelligently connected systems and services. The same can be said of our partners, conference attendees and visitors, whose requirements are changing as a result of digitalization. In fact, with people organizing all areas of their lives digitally, consumers also require access to digital services in the energy sector. Together we share the common vision of creating a smart, sustainable and environmentally friendly energy supply system. The new umbrella brand serves as a unique platform for achieving this goal and gives the new energy world a name:

The smarter E.
