Over the next 15 years continuing growth of urbanisation & sprawl will increase demand for individual mobility & the increase of traffic density will produce many adverse impacts that have direct effects on the quality of life for people living in cities. To lead Europe into a sustainable & competitive future, novel innovations are essential to increase transport efficiency (reduced local emissions & improved traffic flow). Vehicle electrification & autonomous driving are 2 promising new technologies that have disruptive potential for individual mobility whilst giving support “Towards an energy-efficient, decarbonised transport sector”. Sales of EVs tend to be met with high resistance primarily due to range anxiety (max. 100-400 km), variable power costs & long refuelling times (5-8 hours to charge) thus slowing down leadership in electro-mobility. Though these arguments may be valid now, future batteries & charging stations (CS) will reduce these disadvantages. It is estimated that 66k EVCS will be required in Europe in 2020. Nevertheless, gaps & barriers of current charging systems have not been solved. As EVs become more autonomous there will be greater importance on automated charging like Matrix Charging.
