Executive summary
The EmporA2 project extends the existing activities of the e-Mobile Power Austria (emporA) project. The main focus was to develop a complete system for electric mobility, such as improving the charging infrastructure. In this way, electric mobility could improve consumer acceptance on the market.
With EmporA2, the project was expanded to include additional dimensions such as range extension, and integration with public transport. At the same time, significant development steps in the existing dimensions such as grid integration, and charging infrastructure were achieved.
The focus lies in the user approach: usage barriers for the widespread adoption of electric mobility could be identified. By increasing the efficiency of vehicle and infrastructure technology, the anxiety of users to break down with an e-car could be reduced. UBIMET’s role in this project was the implementation of high-resolution weather forecasts in order to adjust route guidance according to the weather situation. The goal is to forecast the predictable range of each vehicle even more precisely.
