Keywords related to electric mobility
How do you define electric mobility?
Electric mobility, also known as electromobility, refers to moving around in space using a means of transport powered either partially or wholly by electrical energy. These means of transport can include cars, buses, bicycles and so on.
By helping to reduce the carbon emissions associated with user travel, electric mobility plays an essential role in decarbonizing local energy mixes, thereby contributing to the energy transition. The many benefits of electric mobility are at the heart of our #SHIFTMobility offer.
Here are the definitions of key words associated with electric mobility
e-mobility
E-mobility refers to the use of various vehicles such as cars, boats, aircraft, etc., which are partially or fully powered by electricity. These vehicles are powered by a storage system, mainly a lithium-ion battery, which is pre-charged from the electricity grid.
EVCI – Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure
An EVCI, or electric vehicle charging infrastructure, is a set of devices designed to enable electric vehicles to be charged. It includes various essential elements such as:
- Power supply circuits.
- Charging stations and charging points.
- Control and management units.
- The devices required for data transmission, enabling supervision, control and payment of refills.
An EVCS can comprise one or more charging stations.
Charging infrastructure network
A charging infrastructure network refers to a set of charging stations for electric vehicles. It can be developed on the initiative of public or private companies.
Charging station
A charging station is an infrastructure that is used to recharge electric vehicles. It can be made up of one or more charging stations, each of which can have several charging points. These stations enable electric vehicles to be recharged at high power, making long-distance journeys possible.
Charging point
A charging point is a stationary device connected to a power source, enabling the vehicle to be recharged one or more electric vehicles.
Stand-alone charging stations
An autonomous charging station is a device capable of recharging an electric vehicle independently, without requiring an Internet connection or a management system to operater.
Ultra-fast charging
Ultra-fast charging stations can recharge an electric vehicle with a range of up to 300 km in around 30 minutes.
Power mix
The power mix is the station’s ability to provide different charging powers on its terminals or charge points. Customers can thus choose charging options to suit their specific needs. Some electric vehicles can accept high-power recharging, which is ideal for long-distance journeys or rapid battery recharging. Other vehicles may require lower-power recharging, adapted to their technical specifications or batteries.
