A three-part mobility review on the ‘Elektrisiert’ podcast

How will people and goods get from A to B in the future?

How are electric mobility, charging infrastructure and new mobility services changing our everyday lives? The ‘Elektrisiert’ podcast explores these questions in a three-part mobility review. Experts from research, industry and the field highlight opportunities, challenges and real-world experiences.

THE KEY POINTS IN BRIEF
• Future mobility: Experts analyse climate change, urbanisation and new transport concepts.
• Charging infrastructure: The second episode explores fast charging, payment systems and bidirectional energy.
• Practical experience: Freight forwarders and electric car drivers report on their experiences, challenges and cost-effectiveness.

The Mobil­i­ty Check on elec­tric mobil­i­ty shows how trans­port will change in the future. It focus­es on peo­ple, goods, vehi­cles and new mobil­i­ty ser­vices. The three-part pod­cast series sets the scene for the ‘CharIN Tes­ti­val & Con­fer­ence Europe’. The event takes place from 22 to 25 Sep­tem­ber. It will be held at the All Elec­tric Soci­ety Park in Blomberg.

The Future of Mobility: Climate Change and Urbanisation

The first episode is enti­tled ‘The Future Gets On Board’. It exam­ines key changes in our soci­ety and its mobil­i­ty. Cli­mate change, urban­i­sa­tion and the ener­gy tran­si­tion are hav­ing an increas­ing impact on mobil­i­ty. At the same time, soci­ety is chang­ing. This rais­es an impor­tant ques­tion: how will peo­ple get around in the future?

82 per cent of peo­ple are on the move every day. But what will mobil­i­ty look like in ten years’ time? What role will elec­tric vehi­cles and autonomous trans­port sys­tems play? New mobil­i­ty ser­vices are also gain­ing in impor­tance. Fur­ther­more, the require­ments dif­fer sig­nif­i­cant­ly between urban and rur­al areas. The first episode of this spe­cial series address­es these ques­tions.

Pre­sen­ter Christi­na Jah­nich dis­cuss­es these issues with Prof. Bar­bara Lenz, a mobil­i­ty researcher who spe­cialis­es in changes to trans­port. Michael Heine­mann is also a guest on the pro­gramme; he is the CEO of Phoenix Con­tact E‑Mobility.

Charging infrastructure and electric mobility: The future of charging

The sec­ond episode focus­es on charg­ing infra­struc­ture and devel­op­ments in this area. It also cov­ers pay­ment mod­els and the user expe­ri­ence. Daniela Stük­er from Phoenix Con­tact E‑Mobility dis­cuss­es these top­ics with Oliv­er Adri­an from Charge­cloud. Togeth­er, they exam­ine the lat­est devel­op­ments in elec­tric vehi­cle charg­ing.

Ultra-fast charg­ing is dis­cussed, as are bidi­rec­tion­al ener­gy con­cepts. The elec­tri­fi­ca­tion of heavy goods trans­port is also on the agen­da. The oper­a­tion of charg­ing points presents its own chal­lenges. That is why a reli­able charg­ing infra­struc­ture plays a cen­tral role in elec­tro­mo­bil­i­ty.

Electric Mobility Check: The Practical Test

The third instal­ment puts elec­tric mobil­i­ty into prac­tice. A haulage con­trac­tor and an elec­tric car dri­ver share their per­son­al expe­ri­ences. Both explain why they decid­ed to make the switch. They also dis­cuss obsta­cles and spe­cif­ic chal­lenges. Cost-effec­tive­ness plays an impor­tant role too. That is why the focus is on one key ques­tion: is elec­tric mobil­i­ty real­ly worth it?

The third episode will be released in Sep­tem­ber. It com­ple­ments the Mobil­i­ty Check with real-life expe­ri­ences from every­day life.

Focus on electric mobility, transport and energy

The Mobil­i­ty Check address­es key issues relat­ing to the future of mobil­i­ty. These top­ics are of con­cern to road users, busi­ness­es, the research com­mu­ni­ty and pol­i­cy­mak­ers. The focus is par­tic­u­lar­ly on elec­tric mobil­i­ty and charg­ing infra­struc­ture. At the same time, the series also cov­ers ener­gy, dig­i­tal­i­sa­tion and new trans­port con­cepts.

The series also ties in with the themes of the ‘CharIN Tes­ti­val & Con­fer­ence Europe’, where the focus is like­wise on issues relat­ing to charg­ing and elec­tric mobil­i­ty.

Erwin Kartnaller

Erwin Kartnaller has been a fixture in Swiss trade journalism covering commercial vehicles and mobility for over four decades. After 16 years working for daily newspapers and family magazines, he moved into trade media and wrote for virtually every commercial vehicle magazine published in Switzerland, with very few exceptions. For nine and a half years, he was editor-in-chief of the Swiss Commercial Vehicle Association ASTAG's magazine, where his precise language and clear stance had a lasting impact on industry communication. This was followed by positions in the automotive industry, including at Eurotax autoinformation and aboutFLEET. He also wrote specialist articles for Auto&Wirtschaft and Auto Bild Schweiz. With his platform www.ekacom.com (http://www.ekacom.com/), he continued to wield his “sharp pen” – an independent voice for clear words and pointed commentary. In his last professional role as editor-in-chief of Polyscope, he immersed himself in the world of electronics – a field that is increasingly shaping mobility. Today, after his active professional life, Erwin Kartnaller is once again devoting himself entirely to his passion on the mobility-360.ch platform: mobility in all its facets.
