Climate Protection and Electric Vehicles in China - Field Tests, Case Studies and Policy Advice on Integrating Renewables into the Growth Market for Electric Vehicles
This project addressed the interface between transport, the energy industry, climate protection, innovation and the market. Relevant decision-makers received support in developing strategies for rolling out electric transport in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This included grid integration of renewable energy and using intelligent grid and charging technologies (smart grids), for example. The project has implemented model and pilot projects, conducted analyses and studies, and carried out dialogue processes.
