According to Sungrow, it is!!!
The Present and Future of Electric Mobility (E-Mobility)
It is a fact that the electric vehicle market, and investment in electric mobility in general, has experienced significant growth across Europe in recent years, particularly in Greece. This trend is also confirmed by the figures, as electric vehicles accounted for nearly 10% of the Greek market in June 2023, compared to just 0.5% in the same month of 2019.
As for the future of electric mobility, the outlook is highly promising. This is supported by the agreement between the EU Member States and the European Parliament, which stipulates that from 2035 onwards, only zero-emission vehicles will be permitted to be sold and operated within the European Union. Similarly, Greece has set a target for one in every three new cars sold to be electric by 2030.
The Challenges and How They Will Be Overcome
The question that arises, however, is whether the necessary resources and infrastructure are in place to support the transition to the new era of electric mobility. Challenges such as disruptions in the global supply chain, shortages of semiconductor chips, and rising prices of raw materials, including lithium-ion batteries, have created significant obstacles.
Christos Tsengis, a graduate of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at National Technical University of Athens and Senior Business Development Manager at Sungrow, remains optimistic. Specifically, he believes that the electric mobility movement remains resilient, drawing strength, among other factors, from the incentives and regulations supported by the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR), the EU’s Fit for 55 package—which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030—and the EU Recovery and Resilience Facility. Through these initiatives and regulations, a strong commitment to sustainability is being reinforced, while at the same time establishing a clear framework that will guide Europe’s approach to energy and, more specifically, electric mobility in the years ahead.
Electric Mobility and Sungrow
Taking into account the new environment that is being shaped, as well as the positive indications that are being observed, Sangrow aims to redefine the landscape of electric vehicle charging infrastructure through innovative products that combine industrial-grade quality with ease of use. With more than 26 years of experience, it invests in electric mobility, offering modern electric vehicle charging systems.
With a wide range of chargers from 7 kW AC to 180 kW DC, it covers different scenarios, from residential to public charging needs.
Sungrow’s electric vehicle chargers are distinguished by a range of advantages, such as:
- Easy installation and intelligent load balancing.
- Compatibility with the OCPP 2.0.1 protocols.
- Plug & Charge functionality (ISO 15118).
- Patented cooling technology.
- Compatibility with photovoltaic (solar PV) systems.
- Connectivity via 4G, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet.
- 3-year warranty, among others.
In addition, in an effort to meet market demands, Sungrow has already taken the necessary steps aimed at facilitating individual billing for electric vehicle drivers. According to Mr. Tsengis, load management across different groups of charging stations and seamless integration into energy management systems are gaining increasing traction.
As can easily be understood, Sungrow believes in and invests in electric mobility and is at the forefront of transforming the electric mobility landscape in Greece, providing a seamless user experience and making the use of electric vehicles efficient, sustainable, and beneficial both for users and for the environment.
