Cover Story: With the exponential growth of EV charging infrastructure, one tends to forget the lessons that can be learned from sectors such as telecom and internet. They have already gone through a learning curve when it comes to developing the boundary conditions for an efficient and international market, as well as providing a flawless user experience in e.g. cross-border pricing and billing. We translate lessons learned to e-mobility and show how independent protocols such as OCPI will play a crucial role in moving towards an integrated EU-wide charging infrastructure. View this paper.
