The future of electric mobility: What awaits us?
Electric mobility is not only transforming the way we move, but it is also redrawing the energy and urban landscape. This 2024 is shaping up to be a key year to consolidate technologies, policies and habits that will mark the coming decades. But what aspects are changing the game?
1. Smart grids: The virtuous circle of mobility
The expansion of electric vehicles (VE) is driving an evolution of electricity networks. Intelligent energy management systems, known as *smart grids*, now not only supply EVs, but also take advantage of their batteries as storage sources. This concept, called *Vehicle-to-Grid* (V2G), allows cars to supply energy to the grid in times of high demand, creating a more efficient energy balance.
2. The silent axes of heavy transport
If electric cars are setting trends, heavy transport is not far behind. Long-range electric trucks, such as the Tesla Semi or Volvo Trucks models, are starting to circulate on commercial routes. In addition, electric buses already dominate many cities, offering public transport free of emissions and noise.
3. New ways to recharge: No cables and no waiting.
Wireless charging is ceasing to be an experiment to become a practical reality. Pioneering companies are installing roads equipped with induction systems capable of charging vehicles while they move. In addition, mobile chargers and portable units are solving access problems in remote areas.
4. Cities adapted for an electric future
Electric mobility is not only a technological change, but also urban. Many cities are redesigning their infrastructure to prioritise electric vehicles and sustainable transport. Exclusive lanes, charging areas in strategic areas and restriction policies for combustion engines are shaping cleaner and more liveable cities.
5. Sustainable shared mobility
Electric car-sharing is gaining ground as a practical solution for those who do not want to own a vehicle, but do want to access one when they need it. This trend, combined with electric micromobility (electric bicycles and scooters), offers a comprehensive ecosystem that reduces dependence on private cars.
6. Sustainability at full speed: green EV production
It’s not all about using vehicles, but also how they are manufactured. This year has seen significant advances in the sustainable production of batteries and components, using renewable energy and recycled materials. These practises are decreasing the carbon footprint associated with the manufacture of EVs.
