are all set with what seemed closely will be to bring you the story behind the news. we ruled about unbiased information. all 3 months. the have you ever had the fear that your cars battery will run out before you reach

your destination? if so, then you are like many people around the world ranging side is real, but maybe soon we can have electric highways that charge our cars as we traveled in this episode of transforming business, we ask is infrastructure for e v 's developing to slope. and why is germany falling behind and developing charging infrastructure? well, we're the german state of north ryan must fall. yeah. which is home to popular german cities like cologne, document and also door. it's also home to the highest number of ease in the country . and not too far from cologne, is one of the largest foss charging parks. it has over 60 ultra fast charging points from tesla, and that's a company fos. net. it also has a battery swap station from chinese automaker neil. we asked the driver as bossing through about the charging experience. it says the for the students, as it's under,

they called us to find in the customer on let's click the problem is the money sign a test doesn't put charlotte, and then i've been talking so i seen a lot of companies off on the bus. if someone that signs or um the price of us to gnomish myself with us just us because the phone books of all phone sufficient being and like rest and you're not pressing what else being presented as that. but then if i have to go for that long, but definitely with that this out of the police in europe, i think i might not have gotten into many people's talk to me off camera as well to shed frustrating deals of broken charges and long waiting times so is the charging infrastructure in germany enough to the half and the pricing points for the number of the reasons we have at the moment. this is rebecca head from on one weiss, president at the lex on a german company that makes charging points for other companies and public spaces. i think it was not only about the option infrastructure itself perhaps, or so about the whole of power credential. many the electricity grid worldwide

needs an update, and this has a fetched price tag for the u. 584000000000 euros are needed to upgrade the current system and digital lives the credits by 2030, making them smart. they will use software to bad supply and demand. but consumer patterns also play a huge role in deciding the future of ease. i'm sure you know how the germans love their gas guzzlers, and that's because the modern combustion engine was born here. legacy automakers like mercedes, volkswagen and bmw are huge part of the german economy. letting go and adopting a new kind of personal car is a challenge in its own way. but it's happening slowly but surely from 2019 to 2021 . the numbers increased by the effect of 10 from 3 percent to 30 percent of the registrations. so in a way, once it happened, it happens very quickly. um,

but if you compare the number of new registrations with our climate goals, then we are not fast enough by far we would need to sell a lot more electric vehicles per month. then we're currently selling, but would you buy it easy if the infrastructure threatens to slow you down. and what about charging and the rest of the world? how about the industry leaders like china or the us? you're probably surprised by who's on the top spot. south korea leads with the most amount of charging stations for 1000 eaves in 2022. the netherlands is accelerating and comes in 2nd. china is that number 3, the interviewer numbers more than half of all slow charging stations in the world or in china. it's not a surprise seeing that the industry leader has been working on tvs for more than 2 decades. chinese technology is credited for making a lot of the,

the infrastructure possible, be a battery swap stations or manufacturing those batteries. the and china biggest drive, all the u. s. is coming close with new innovative technology. forget charging stations, we're talking about developing fully electrified roads and highways. here's what companies like the rate and the us are working on. imagine the highways in which power electronics are fitted to inches below the road surface and this is connected to the electricity grid installed and roadside. it would be able to generate up to $200.00 kilowatt insurance submitted to your car. there must be a receiver, underneath the car for it to receive the electricity while traveling. so basically this technology in an ideal scenario gives you infinity drange and eliminates brains anxiety. because as soon as you are on the road way, that is electrified, you can move further or until you fall asleep on the,

on the we also were not talking about electrifying every single meet there of road . it's clear that it suffices to electrify just a small fraction of all the key on, but there's also the old ways at that out there and more specifically zeros that are you know, more chevrolet use, current li, efforts like these are underway in michigan. apply that project is going to be completed soon and will cost the state $1900000.00. but before we lean towards cutting edge technology, we must test out existing infrastructure. let's turn to latin america where brazil in mexico are seeing a boom in the market. the situation is developing slowly, but the results is big. the, as you're looking at many kind of more just the newly. yeah, g o connect the i'm, we didn't have to get into what i didn't point out. your level of reality is easy to make a visual. yes, it's the, the, the, the you got a stomach and bake list elected. you're ready to play this to the base cause i've

left the normal depend on bake when they take a look at the and it will not robotics those as the and it's got down to make the car that was canada. there's a lot of other places kind of got to wait. does that come on step lead up, which comes out of the employees i live in a, in a basement or like such developments, joint efforts, governments in the region come together with organizations supporting electric mobility in the region. half of this root was already launched in 2022. this model, it can serve as a great example for regions all over the world. and europe travelling across country is, is easy, but can be tough because the infrastructure is different wherever you go. here's what drivers in germany said about the ranging gaiety in long distance traveling. how do you believe that? i tried to explain to you that a call to 5. i know you have, i'm yet. i'm the one that's my god. in the midst of oklahoma, i'm a made a video to some of the item puts in the loudest, that's what i'm to come. it's biased defense on open popular. meantime it mood puts

an ultima and seen of the end gets the nor did the i thought the some what was finished pub, i'm starting to despise itself, does not want to be the most on forehead on. so it gives you a bit of anxiety, especially driving through germany because most of the times this summer order was happening and the exit that you're supposed to take is close. and then you have to take like a think of them with our depo just to get to the charging station. many people in germany pointed out the problems like these came to them from switching to eaves customer arise. the trust point is not working. this is not acceptable, so we need to ensure charge points upload things, especially to the 1st ones working every with every time. that's the 1st one to make it to like make it easy to use. miriam has a ph, d and electric vehicles. she says that in the future, all of these will be charged at home over night with the private charger in your garage. for example, in the night there's less pressure on the grid and you can avoid beating lines of

charging stations. but in the day, this is where you limit the existing uh, fueling stations. when you go, you pluck and you're charged in 1015 minutes. so in the future, the dominant can you charge a home and you come to a month to buy a network of foss chargers along traveling car doors. maybe also something that helps incidence. on average, people in germany drive 37 kilometers per day by car. now if you have any v with 300 kilometers range, then you're good. you don't need to worry about charging every day. but what if the closest charging station is far your driving distance increases significantly? to avoid this countries need to be faster with developing infrastructure. but let's talk about who handles this development. the charging infrastructure is obviously an interaction between a private invest of the and the market and

a government both on the national as well as on local and regional levels. so it is a complex mix of players in germany. one of these players is the current ruling coalition, which includes the green body the previously set. they want to have 15000000 electric vehicles on the roads by 2030, but with subsidies based out and major com, acres rolling by tvs. the government's dream feels far. we need more policies on the national level to speed up the uptake of electric costs. it doesn't help that we just caught the generous purchase subsidies that were in place until the end of last year. we argued for a reform of the context ation scheme and of basically making fossil fuel cause more expensive. this model has seen success in norway where you kind of shift consumer patterns by taxing one

commodity more than the other. but this model isn't in place in germany. the government had set aside money for charging stations, but it was under utilized last year. the a mocked close to $2000000000.00 euros for charging infrastructure, but only ended up spending less than a quarter of that money. some of the bottlenecks include issues with acquiring raw material and general slow expansion of the electricity bridge. building a charging station is more work than you think the installation of the shops and stations reprice everit's you've services. so i think 1st of all, and there's the electric to a connection for many a subscription stations. this takes place in the local subscript. so this is then less work. however, it's often reprice that there's no power to be provided by the distribution scripts, upper right to so and we have back at the platinum says, i'm sorry, i meant to meet with the,

with the power suppliers at the start of the episode we off, if charging infrastructure is being developed too slowly in germany, for example, the issues with charging our complex is the question of good capacity subsidies and investment. and the rest of the world is progressing slowly but making great strides. and add to all this, the range anxiety that people have. this shows that the car and infrastructure industries have their work cut out with all this information. the question is, would you buy an easy the so you don't feel the same way you expect and want different things from life than your parents. i just want to

pursue what that's nice on the side or you think your kid is 2 different risk, irresponsible, unreasonable or port is nonsense. i wonder what's under the doctor? is there an alternative plan? we've done everything to prevent a divorce but nothing worked so in the it's time you were a sweet thing for us and then when generation industry this kind of fun it feels like there's the rate the.
