Tiivistelmä
The infrastructure that enables consumers to use electric vehicles is as important as the electric vehicles themselves. The best possible infrastructure development can be found by researching what more developed market areas have done, and by learning from their practices.
The most important aspect about building the best possible infrastructure for electric vehicles is the ability to provide consumers with viable options to replace vehicles producing tailpipe emissions and move from fossil fuels to renewables. By creating the best possible infrastructure for electric vehicles, the public and the private sector can ease the transition into the use of sustainable energy in automotive transportation.
The purpose of this study is to examine the current state of Finland’s electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and to gain insight into how the market will likely develop. The study will focus on the functions and distribution of charging stations – as they are the most integral part of electric vehicle infrastructure.
