In a sub-project of the associated project the Chair of Freight Transport Planning and Transport Logistics is working together with the Chair for Electrical Power Supply Technology (Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Markus Zdrallek) on how incentives can be created in the future to switch to electric transport and what significance charging management systems have for various grid-supporting applications such as congestion management or regional flexibility markets, as well as integration into neighborhood solutions. In a further step, today's nitrogen oxide pollution will be analyzed in detail according to traffic-related sources in order to identify the short and medium-term potential for switching to electromobility. This potential analysis will be validated by the data obtained from the use of electric cars during the pilot operation of the charging infrastructure.

This accompanying research will thus provide new findings on the framework conditions and user acceptance of various market models for charging electric cars, on the interaction between charging management, the grid, customers and the market, on the corresponding technical requirements and on the possible reduction of nitrogen oxide pollution in the air in the coming years.
