  • Slovenia is developing solutions to integrate electromobility with the energy system, focusing on smart charging and renewable energy.
  • The E8 concept by Eles aims to make electric vehicles part of the solution to energy challenges, not the problem, by smart charging and managing power.
  • Porsche Slovenia, through its Moon brand, is contributing practical knowledge of e-vehicles and charging solutions to the project, collaborating with partners to create new, user-friendly solutions.

Slovenia is actively developing innovative solutions to ensure that the rise of electromobility supports, rather than strains, its energy infrastructure. The focus is on creating a sustainable ecosystem where electric vehicles are seamlessly integrated into the power grid.

Thomas Rye from the Urban Institute emphasizes the need for prioritizing electric public transport, motors, and bicycles, alongside measures to reduce overall car usage. This approach, he argues, can significantly decrease pollution and traffic congestion, thereby improving urban quality of life. Simultaneously, the energy sector is exploring how to guarantee uninterrupted charging for electric vehicles while leveraging them to help balance electricity production and consumption.

Prednost bi morali imeti elektriฤni javni prevoz, elektriฤni motorji in elektriฤna kolesa, ob hkratnih ukrepih za sploลกno zmanjลกanje uporabe avtomobilov in skrajลกanje razdalj, prevoลพenih z avtomobilom. Takลกen pristop lahko prispeva k zmanjลกanju onesnaลพevanja in prometnih zastojev ter k izboljลกanju kakovosti ลพivljenja v mestih.

The Eles-developed E8 concept embodies this forward-thinking strategy. It centers on smart charging, remote power management, and incorporating private charging stations into the broader energy system. Dr. Slavko Aลพman from Porsche Slovenia explains that the goal is to deeply consider how to advance electromobility to ensure the long-term sustainability of the energy system, making electric vehicles a part of the solution.

Porsche Slovenia, through its Moon brand, brings practical expertise in selling and using electric vehicles, home and business charging solutions, and energy management systems, including storage and solar power. Aลพman highlights that the project is highly collaborative, with partners learning from each other to develop novel solutions that do not yet exist. The initiative encourages broader participation from interested parties to join the CER partnership and the E8 initiative.

Kot Porsche Slovenija z znamko Moon v partnerstvo prinaลกamo praktiฤno znanje iz prodaje in uporabe e-vozil, izkuลกnje z domaฤim in poslovnim polnjenjem ter reลกitve za upravljanje energije, hranilnike in sonฤne elektrarne. Hkrati pa se uฤimo od naลกih partnerjev. Skupaj razvijamo nove reลกitve, ki niti ลกe ne obstajajo.
