Overall Objective

The study will analyse the barriers that currently hamper an accelerated deployment of electric vehicles in Europe. The issues particularly to be considered are hurdles in terms of research, development and industrialization of the enabling smart systems and electrical architectures in general. For comparison, complementary roadblocks from other technology fields will be taken into account as well, including battery cell performance, access to raw materials and commodities, consumer expectations, availability of charging infrastructure. A major focus of the analysis shall also be put on the environmental and also the socio- economic assessments of electric mobility, like e.g. its impact on the competitiveness of the European industry from the vehicle manufacturing as well as the smart systems sectors. Experiences from early electric vehicle manufacturing and deployment in Europe and beyond will be considered as well. Finally, recommendations for European "lighthouse" projects and framework conditions for research, development, and industrialization of smart systems for the electric vehicle and particularly for the fully digital electric vehicle will be derived as an input to the future researchs in this area.
