Spanning the 48 months from January 2020 through December 2023, the INCIT-EV project will be broken down into two primary phases:
Phase 1 will first involve analysing user needs and requirements, followed in April 2020 by an assessment of charging technologies and their integration into infrastructures.Phase 2 will focus on 7 tech demonstrations on selected sites and will run from the second half of 2022 to the end of the project.
- A dynamic induction charging system for the urban environment in Paris, France;
- High voltage charging systems in the outskirts of Tallinn, Estonia;
- Optimised bidirectional "smart charging" in Amsterdam and Utrecht, the Netherlands;
- A dynamic induction charging system in peri-urban/long-range areas in Versailles, France;
- A charging hub in a carpark for car-share vehiclesin the outskirts of Turin, Italy;
- Low power bidirectional charging (for two-wheeled vehicles also) and static wireless charging in taxi lanes located at the airport and central station in Zaragoza, Spain.
A PAN-EUROPEAN PROJECT BROUGHT TO LIFE BY GROUPE RENAULT
To address the needs to test the charging technologies in real-life conditions – such as the Contactless Dynamic Charging (CDC)[2] technology – and to structure the whole ecosystem, Groupe Renault took the European Commission’s call for new projects as an opportunity to create a consortium.
Thirty-two leading industrial companies, universities, institutes, cities, start-ups, and SMEs positively answered the call put out by Renault, with the shared desire to promote electric mobility in Europe by carrying out electric car’s user-centric experiments.
This customer-centric approach will help build a new ecosystem and develop technological charging solutions that could be rolled out Europe-wide to foster and encourage electric mobility.
