e-station - Requirements for charging stations of electric vehicles
Although electricity is available everywhere, owners of an electric vehicle or a PHEV (Plug-In-Hybrid vehicle) must use in urban areas an extension cables from their apartment, in order to charge their electric vehicle.
Every form of mobility requires a concurrent infrastructure in order to succeed. Regarding e-mobility this can be achieved comparatively easy and cheap. Electric vehicles are charged optimal in areas where those naturally park for a longer period of time (e.g. at home, at work, at the supermarket and in public areas), or in case of long distance drive, fast charging stations along the way (highways).
