        Package for the future

        Package for the future is a programme responding to the Covid-19 pandemic, designed to prepare Germany for upcoming challenges: climate change and growing digitalisation.

         

        The programme aims to support research and development in the field of quantum computing, artificial intelligence, hydrogen power and electric vehicles. The programme has an allocated budget of 50 billion euros, and offers tax breaks for targeted sectors.  

         

        The package includes financial and fiscal support for:  

        - a new hydrogen strategy,  

        - renewable energies,

        - building renovations promotion,

        - a switch to electric vehicles,

        - research into artificial intelligence

        - expansion of digital teaching.

        MOVES Program

        …programme, managed by the IDAE (Institute for Energy Diversification and Saving), is to finance actions to support mobility based on criteria for energy efficiency, sustainability and promotion of alternative sources of energy, including the availability of electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

         

        The following actions are eligible for subsidies:


        Purchase of alternative-energy vehicles, with compulsory scrapping of the vehicle (older than 10 years in the case of M1 vehicles or older than 7 years in the case of N1 vehicles).
        Deployment of electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
        Deployment of electric bicycle hire systems.
        Deployment of measures contained in company commuter transport plans.

        Administrative Agreement on Zero Emissions Transport

        29 Dutch Municipalities, along with several industry representatives have formed a so-called "Coalition of the Willing" and have signed an administrative agreement (and accompanying covenant) calling for zero-emissions transport in the Netherlands by 1 January 2025 or earlier.

         

        The agreement promotes cooperation between the signatories to share knowledge and collaborate to scale-up technology solutions. While primarily focussed on electric vehicles, the agreement also notes the importance of providing charging and refueling infrastructure.

         

        The most recent version of the agreement was published on 31 May 2018.

        Electromobility Programme (ELMO) infrastructure

        …public procurement won by automation and power technology firm ABB was organized by the Estonian state in 2011 for the purchase and management of the country’s ELMO quick charger network. The current procurement contract was signed through November 2017. The chargers are installed in urban areas with more than 5,000 inhabitants, and on major roads throughout the country, creating the highest concentration of DC chargers in Europe. On highways, the chargers are never more than 60 km (37 miles) apart, making it possible for electric vehicles to travel anywhere within the Baltic state without running out of power.

A limited number of the high power recharging points will provide connections from this network to major cities in Croatia (Zagreb) and Germany (Munich). At each charging location service for vehicles with AC/Type 2, DC/Combo 2 as well as DC/CHAdeMO interfaces will be provided, thus being compatible with most electric vehicles with high power recharging interfaces on the market. All recharging points will form one interoperable network. As part of the study activities, synergies from innovative co-location of hydrogen and fast charge…
