Energy transition is highly linked to a more sustainable mobility and a shift on the energy type we depend on. As a major mobility player, TotalEnergies is committed to contribute to the development of a cleaner mobility through its EV Charge business line. However, the growing use of electric vehicles brings its share of challenges, starting with e-mobility energy dependence. Aware of these challenges, TotalEnergies is involved in various projects with the goal to optimize the use of electricity within mobility.

2020 - INCIT EV

 

Coordinated by Renault S.A.S, the 3-year European project aims at improving EV users experience. TotalEnergies is directly involved on H2020 INCIT-EV project in the Netherlands. The project aims at working on “smart charging” within Amsterdam and Utrecht.

The project addresses, among others, smart and bi-directional charging, dynamic wireless charging, charging Hub in a park&ride facility, superfast charging systems for EU corridors…

2019 – Je roule en électrique

 

"Je-roule-en-electrique.fr" was launched and led by AVERE FRANCE, an unprecedented initiative bringing together electric mobility professionals, the French Ministry of Ecological and Social Transition and supported by TotalEnergies. This Internet portal serves to inform the general public about electric mobility, charging solutions, subsidies, information about electric vehicles, in order to promote their development.

2019 - aVEnir

Led by Enedis, the aVEnir project aims to support the large-scale development of electric mobility. TotalEnergies contributes to aVEnir project with 10 other partners. The project assesses the interactions between the public electricity grid, charge points and electric vehicles. This experimentation covers technological, economic, sociological and regulatory aspects.

2017 – LiveTree

TotalEnergies commits to the LiveTree project with the Lille University, in France. 

LiveTree project deploys smart grid solutions field trials (smart charging, smart building etc.). It tackles urban areas, such as collective housing, offices and universities, equipped with charge points, photovoltaic panels and storage capacities.

2015- Open Charge Alliance (OCA) member 

TotalEnergies is a member of OCA directors board, the Amsterdam-based organization which defines OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) standards, open source protocols for communication between charge points and IT systems. It was key for us to contribute to the interoperability of charging solutions from different manufacturers in order to make electric mobility easier.

2013- GreenFeed 

From 2013 to 2016, this project aimed at working on the control of power charging, by developing the digital communication of the EV while on the road. The project will focus on the development of software enabling roaming, while guaranteeing the reliability, security and robustness of the solutions implemented. From this project, two ISO norms are created ISO15118 and ISO61850 norms.

2011- Infini Drive

This pioneering project brought together eight partners, it mobilized 350 players and involved 100 electric vehicles and 450 internal combustion vehicles. Infini Drive tackles a major challenge for EV fleet operators: the charging impacts on the electric infrastructure of a site. To limit those impacts, we deployed the first systems to balance power load.
