ARTICLES
Demand for Electric Vehicles - Will the Economic Landscape Make or Break the Transition in Europe?
This article investigates how the total cost of ownership (TCO) of BEVs and ICEVs has changed based on these circumstances and if that has an impact on the demand for vehicles, especially BEVs.
Home EV Chargers - Bottom-up Cost Calculation
The market for home EV chargers is relatively new and immature, arguably providing charger manufacturers with the opportunity to have high markups on their products. To investigate if these potential high markups exist, Fortos has conducted a product teardown and a bottom-up cost calculation of three popular home EV chargers.
Preparing Transport Operators for Electrification
The transport sector is currently undergoing a major shift with the goal to drastically reduce emissions. The shift is already starting to pick up the pace with electric models being introduced to the streets today and many new models is to be expected. Consequently, this will imply new challenges and opportunities for the transport operators, who organize towards electrification.
Logistics Terminals E-Mobility Assessment
One key challenge in the roll-out of electric trucks is to secure access to charging. The charging need differs between transport segments, where depot charging overnight with relatively low power will be the primary source for energy. Some use cases and truck configurations will require charging also during the day.
Fortos have developed a three-step approach to forecast the future energy and effect demand at a specific site.
