Abstract:

A seamless mobility with EVs between European countries is an undeniable requirement for the future car market. The project CROME - cross-border mobility for electric vehicles - is the first European field demonstration introducing a standardised and interoperable cross-border charging infrastructure network in the French- German Upper Rhine region. The main aim of the project, funded by different Ministries on both sides of the border, is to create and test a safe, seamless, user-friendly and reliable mobility with electric vehicles between France and Germany. Fully public interoperable charging stations have been implemented ensuring easy access and charging of EVs all over the French and German CROME area. Solutions are developed and tested about charging services enabling simplified authentication, identification, billing as well as charging spot availability and reservation. The CROME market place helps service Providers. The Bosch eMobility Service Brokering Platform forms within CROME a reliable interconnected network of the partners of different countries and industries, thus it integrates them in a barrier-free Ecosystem.
