Periodic Reporting for period 1 - OPEVA (OPEVA - OPtimization of Electric Vehicle Autonomy)
Período documentado: 2023-01-01 hasta 2023-12-31
The OPEVA project represents a pivotal step towards the integration and optimization of sustainable electric vehicles (EVs) within the European transport sector, addressing both technological advancements and socio-economic challenges. By focusing on six core Technology Domains (TDs), the project aims to enhance vehicle performance, battery management, and charging infrastructure, leveraging external data for optimization and incorporating human factors into vehicle design and functionality.
Central to OPEVA's strategy is the acknowledgment of the critical role social sciences and humanities play in facilitating the societal acceptance and legal framework adaptation necessary for the widespread adoption of EVs. The project seeks to bridge the gap between technological innovation and societal needs, ensuring that advancements in EV technology are matched with improvements in user experience, policy support, and public perception.
OPEVA's objectives:
- Optimize the autonomy of electric vehicle batteries;
- Manage green energy production, conversion, and storage systems;
- Enable affordable, safe, and ecologically neutral light mobility;
- Reduce energy consumption by more than 10%;
- Reduce charging time by at least 10%.
The expected impacts of OPEVA are significant and multifaceted, encompassing environmental, economic, and social dimensions. Environmentally, the project aims to contribute to reduced emissions and a lower carbon footprint for the European transport sector. Economically, it seeks to enhance the competitiveness of European EV technology, fostering growth and innovation in the industry. Socially, OPEVA intends to improve public health through cleaner air quality and facilitate a cultural shift towards sustainable mobility.
OPEVA's comprehensive approach, combining cutting-edge technology with a keen understanding of societal trends and challenges, positions the project as a key contributor to Europe's energy independence and environmental sustainability goals. Through its focus on both technological innovation and social integration, OPEVA sets the stage for a transformative impact on the way electric vehicles are perceived, adopted, and utilized across Europe.
To sum up, OPEVA aims to tackle the main obstacles to the purchase of electric vehicles: range, price, charging facilities, and charging times.
