The installation of new e-charging points by local authorities has so far had a rather symbolic character. Norbert Stankus from Nexiga and Volker Gillessen from EcoLibro have taken a look at the future of e-mobility from a municipal perspective. A technical article on this has been published in Esri's Wherenext.
Norbert Stankus is Director of Energy & E-Mobility at the location

A garage register is essential for planning.
