Energy Transitions podcast: Advancing e-mobility through electric road innovation

Advancing e-mobility is critical to meeting decarbonisation goals, however, more electrification means more strain on existing power grids. Governments and industries are therefore increasingly looking to charging innovations such as electric roads to address this challenge sustainably.

In this episode of the Energy Transitions podcast, Pamela Largue speaks to Per Löfberg, Senior Project Manager at charging solutions scale-up Elonroad, to find out more about how charging innovation is helping to drive electrification.

Löfberg focuses on the exciting and unique potential offered by electric roads to decarbonise transport, logistics and port operations. While he acknowledges these aren’t a silver bullet, they can play a vital part in our clean mobility future.

In this episode, you will learn more about:

• The challenges facing e-mobility in Europe and limitations posed by the grid infrastructure and battery dependency;
• How Elonroad's innovation is using conductive electric roads to enable on-the-go charging;
• The differences between inductive and conductive charging;
• Why road electrification holds great promise for port decarbonisation in particular;
• Why the US, Sweden, France and Singapore are exploring e-mobility innovation like electric roads;
• The popular use cases being explored for deployment of these systems;
• Addressing regulatory and investment gaps hindering development of e-mobility innovation;
• What's next for Elonroad on its innovation journey.
