Electric vehicles appeared on the whole street for six months. Germany tests if the electricity grid can handle charging
Residents of Belchenstrasse in Ostfildern near Stuttgart, Germany received 11 electric vehicles and 22 kW sockets. They have to use them as usual for six months to test how the local infrastructure can handle the load.
There are three Renault Zoe, two BMW i3 and five VW e-Golf in the pool. In addition, every family will receive a Tesla Model S 75D for three weeks. Residents should use cars in the same way they would use combustion cars. To facilitate charging, all 22 kW wall-mounted charging stations are installed.
> An internal combustion car? For Russian oil. An electric car? For Polish or RUSSIAN coal
Over the next six months, the energy supplier and main organizer of the action - EnBW (source) - will control the local infrastructure. The experiment is important because it will last through the hot summer (air conditioning) and last until later autumn (lighting plus heating), and all households are connected to one transformer.
The project was even named "Electromobility Prospectus" in connection with a similar initiative called "Electric Avenue" in the UK.
