At the Digital Hub Mobility, we are building a prototype that makes the source of power used for charging at semipublic charge points transparent, taking into account on-site generated solar power as well as the CO2-intensity of the grid mix. To incentivize green charging behavior, we developed a dynamic charging tariff, that reflects these different power sources. In this way, drivers benefit from cheaper prices when local renewable production is high while charge point operators maximize the use of on-site generated solar power and grid operators benefit from grid-friendly charging behavior.
The Challenge
The generation of renewable energies fluctuates depending on location and time. Accordingly, the CO2 intensity of grid electricity fluctuates.
Our Approach
We have developed a dynamic charging tariff based on the hyperlocal CO2 intensity of the charging current. Among other factors, this is based on local and regional consumption and generation data as well as the electricity purchase price.
The Solution
To make the decision to charge green and cheap as easy as possible, we developed an app prototype that suggests the best charging strategy based on the driver's charging needs.
