Private citizens driving electric vehicles (EVs) mainly charge their vehicles overnight at or near their homes. In addition, many company cars have charging facilities on site. However, craftsmen, delivery and taxi business, as well as visitors to the city also need access to daytime charging facilities; and not all citizens can charge at home.
For this measure, the city aims to develop a charging Master Plan to oversee and complement the infrastructural development for EV charging, in order to ensure that it is effectively meeting user needs rather than just covering popular hotspots. The plan includes a publicly accessible dynamic map which shows existing, as well as planned charging sites. The map will help private companies interested in providing public charging to find suitable locations where these can be established. It will also be a tangible tool to convince more businesses and private citizens to choose EVs.
Several working groups and high-level round tables were set up to develop Stockholm’s EV charging strategy to ensure it will effectively meet the needs of all drivers, including business users. The charging strategy is based on several pillars:
With the aim to provide 0.1 public charging units per EV, and the number of EVs estimated at 15,000 by the year 2020, it would mean the city needs in total 1,500 public charging units by 2020. The goal is to put 500 of these on public streets at about 50 locations, with 10 charging opportunities per site.
A study resulted in many possible locations for on-street charging, the results are indicated on a publicly accessible dynamic map which shows existing as well as planned charging sites. Parties interested in setting up charging infrastructure can consult this map. The market parties can apply to get a five-year contract for one or several of these spots to set up and operate charging facilities there. The contract is awarded following a set of requirements that have been pre-defined. If the awarded parties do not manage to set up the charging infrastructure within six months the contract is cancelled and the spots can be applied for by another market party.
