Joint Statement l The critical role of smart electric transport in addressing the energy crisis

Europe is going through its worst energy crisis since the 1970s. All levers must be activated to minimize its impact on European households and companies. We, the undersigned associations active in the e-mobility and wider energy ecosystem, believe that demand-side flexibility measures are currently under-leveraged in the EU’s response. The smart electrification of road transport can and should play a critical role in support of electricity demand reduction, energy independence, and the integration of more renewable electricity into power grids thanks to the activation of demand-side flexibility.
