Imagine your car battery acting like a giant power bank for your house or the city. Instead of just taking power from the grid, cars can give it back when electricity is expensive or scarce. This project creates the shared rules and tech so any car can talk to any charger across Europe without glitches.
EV adoption is slowed by grid instability and a lack of interoperable charging standards. Businesses and cities struggle to deploy V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) because of technical and regulatory uncertainties.
An open system architecture and a SCALE Blueprint for city planning. They also produced hardware and software requirement specifications for V2X chargers.
If you are a DSO dealing with grid overload from too many EVs — this project developed models showing a significant reduction of load to the grid by applying smart charging and V2X. This helps prevent costly infrastructure upgrades while maintaining stability.
If you are an OEM dealing with fragmented charging standards — this project developed an open system architecture and hardware/software requirements. This ensures your vehicles are interoperable across different European charging networks.
If you are a city operator dealing with uncertain roll-out costs — this project developed a SCALE Blueprint for integrated planning. It provides a roadmap for deploying V2X chargers based on open standards through joint procurement.
Based on available project data, specific pricing for the end-user or commercial licenses is not mentioned; however, the project focuses on open protocols and open standards to ensure fair market conditions.
Yes, the project involves 31 partners across 8 countries and is specifically designed to facilitate the mass deployment of electric vehicles and smart charging infrastructure.
The project emphasizes an open system architecture and the creation of the Open V2X Alliance to ensure the legacy and accessibility of the developed standards.
The project focuses on developing the regulatory, organizational, and legal readiness needed for a mass-market V2X ecosystem.
The project runs from 2022-06-01 to 2025-11-30, with use cases being deployed in the second term to validate models.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven, with 21 industrial partners (68% ratio), including 9 SMEs. This high concentration of commercial entities, combined with 8 countries and a mix of OEMs, DSOs, and CPOs, indicates that the project is designed for immediate market application rather than pure academic research.
