Electricity tariff design, smart technology roll-out and optimised planning for the location of charging points will play a key role to minimize stress on the grid and encourage efficient utilisation, without negatively affecting the comfort of using and charging EVs.

Based on the results of this study, seven priority areas have been outlined for energy policy makers, the market regulator, distribution grid companies, the automotive industry, charging technology developers and investors, urban planners and the academia:

1. Accelerate the market for EVs and charging services in parallel,
2. Develop and implement smart charging mechanisms for load management,
3. Develop region-specific measures to avoid overloading and voltage violations,
4. Assess, develop and implement new business models for EV charging,
5. Continue the planned investments in distribution grids in line with the growth in electricity demand,
6. Utilise synergies between EV charging and renewable energy integration and energy storage,
7. Assess and plan for utilising the benefits of EV development jointly with other sectors.
