RENEWABLE & GREEN ENERGY

From EVs to electric motorbikes and e-bikes to electric scooters , electric mobility solutions are everywhere .

The increase in the popularity of e-mobility devices has encouraged wider take-ups and easier access to these forms of transport . Looking around – particularly in urban areas – electrification has taken over more traditional ways of getting around . Looking at ride-hailing , EVs are more widely available than ever and e-bikes and their scooter counterparts sit on street corners , waiting to be ridden .
This shift can be attributed to increased awareness of their benefits as a means of convenient and sustainable travel – increasingly in more populated areas and – and a wider range of options becoming available on the market .
As industrial equipment giant Danfoss highlighted , advances in electromobility when it comes to other forms of transport like rail , sea and air are now a realistic goal – and , if anything , essential to reaching Paris Agreement ambitions before the end of the decade .
How does technology empower e-mobility ? “ Without charging infrastructure , there is no e-mobility ,” says Joe Gorman , Director for Northern Europe at EV charging company ChargePoint . “ It really is that simple . Charging is a requirement of the transition to sustainable electric transport , but there is more to charging than the stations themselves .”
