An Electric Vehicle Charger Directly Connected to the Trolleygrid

'}}

Published on 2024-12-10

Resource: Best practice

Country: Netherlands

Competence Area: Enable, Energy.Transform., Infrastructure.Extend.

Public transport infrastructure have the potential to cater to far more loads than only their own vehicles. One example of this is the feeding of electric vehicle chargers (EV chargers). Coupling EV chargers to the existing transport grid reduces the need for a separate infrastructure, which translates to lower costs […]
