4. Central European Green Corridors
The project CEGC Central European Green Corridors was driven by the emerging need for decarbonisation and electrification of EU road transportation and by the related interoperability and synergy opportunities.
The project deployed 115 high power charging stations in Austria, Croatia, Germany, Slovakia, and Slovenia (26 stations).
At each charging station, service for vehicles with AC/Type 2, DC/Combo 2 as well as DC/CHAdeMO interfaces have be provided.

AN OVERVIEW OF CURRENTLY AVAILABLE CHARGERS FOR EVs
The three biggest electric vehicle markets (USA, EU and Asia) were studied to establish which electric vehicles and with what kind of chargers were sold in the last three years.
market share of existing publicly accessible charging points for every market.
comparison between the required charging capacities and the existing capacities.

8. Introduction
EC Transport Commissioner Violeta Bulc
governments, universities and private sectors are starting to see the importance of fuel efficiency, environmental factors and health impacts on the population. The attention to these issues has brought about the need for developing PHEVs and other alternative vehicles.
several organisations are preparing standards and codes with regard to user interfaces. Electric vehicles must become more widely accepted.
Three barriers that are preventing this include:
the high cost and life cycle of batteries,
difficulties with chargers,
and the lack of charging infrastructure.

9. The main purpose of our research
Today’s situation was anticipated by Pokryzawa (2011) who predicted that:
Manufacturers will have to equip their vehicles with their own charger and develop their own electronics for such systems;
Charging sockets in the vehicle frame will vary depending on regions;
Sharing of charging infrastructure will not be possible;
Vehicle and infrastructure costs will increase - without benefits for customers.
…to compose an overview of all EV chargers which are available today
- which companies, which brands and which countries are part of today’s competition.

16. Discussion & Results
… shows that in the last three years, and specifically in the last year, China has taken the initiative and pushed the Asian market ahead of Europe and the USA.
In the USA, the most commonly used charger is the SAE J1772, followed by the CHAdeMO and Tesla charger. In Europe, the most commonly used charger is the Mennekes, followed by the CHAdeMO and Tesla chargers. In Asia, the most common charger is the GB/T, followed closely by the CHAdeMO.
This leads to the conclusion that four types of chargers are the most widely used in the three markets. These are the SAE J1772, Mennekes, GB/T and CHAdeMO.

17. Discussion & Results
Promoting the use of electric cars by providing subsidies and recommendations is common to all the countries, whereas the basic safety elements and charging principles are common to all the different standards included in the research.
(Pokryzawe’s statement) - a meaningful direction of the development of EV charging is clear. It may be observed in the possibilities of harmonised EV charging by using a universal charger according to a universal standard or by using contact-less charging.

Group I: No-Greens (20% in Slovenia, 8% in Spain and 20 % in Poland),
Group II: Go-With The Flow-Greens (42% in Slovenia, 32% in Spain and 40% in Poland)
Group III: Go-Greens (38% in Slovenia, 60% in Spain and 40% in Poland).
„No-Greens“ is the group not motivated to buy a EV in the near future. The information about CO2 and other emissions is not important to them when buying a car.
„Go-With The Flow-Greens“ have a positive opinion about EVs, but they are still not planning to buy one, like the people in the “No-Green” group.
„Go-Greens“ are very interested in buying a EV in the near future. They are aware of their responsibility to reduce environmental impact.
