It's the wish list of all motorists, car-manufacturers and energy suppliers. However, when it comes to how vehicles should be charged, opinions vary widely. Fortunately, Smart Charging is able to balance interests at the interface between the vehicle and the charging infrastructure.

In this context, standardization and impartiality are especially important, since motorists expect interoperability. When buying an automobile, drivers do not wish to be bound contractually, geographically or technologically to a single energy supplier and its charging station. Rather, as with petrol filling stations they expect to be able to charge and pay at any charging point.
