Considerations on how to combine charging stops with the driver’s journey, especially with logistics planning in transportation.
Visualizing the benefit of V2X technology which stabilizes the grid by providing additional flexibility and balancing services to better manage peak demand periods and reduce the need for costly.
For end users,
V2X can provide an additional revenue stream
and enable sustainable charging decision
For EV Business owners,
can utilize the stored energy stabilizing grid during peak demand periods
and gain potential opportunities.
Solutions:

Scope into Material Traceability
The automotive manufacturing industry is among the largest consumers of primary raw materials such as steel, aluminum, copper, and plastics, but makes little use of recycled materials. Although the recycling rates of materials from ELVs are generally high, the scrap metals produced are of low quality and only small amounts of plastic are recycled.
