eMobility misconceptions

According to Michel Derks , Account Manager, Netherlands, there are a number of misconceptions when it comes to the shift to eMobility.

He notes: “We are used to be able to drive like 400+ kilometers per day and we expect that from our eVehicle too. However, if you look at what you really drive and consider that you can charge during your day, while, for example, working at the office or visiting a customer, then eMobility could work. This is a new way of thinking and it needs time. The proof is in the pudding, as you only find out if you start with it.”

Why is eMobility important?

Encompassing electric vehicles, bikes, scooters and the charging infrastructure required to run them, eMobility is becoming increasingly prevalent in the transportation sector as it offers benefits for the environment, the economy, and society.

Firstly, eMobility aids in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, which significantly impact climate change and public health. Additionally, it contributes to enhancing energy efficiency by enabling the use of electricity generated from renewable sources. Moreover, as sustainability becomes increasingly important to customers, implementation of EV fleets improves customer satisfaction and loyalty. Lastly, eMobility creates new opportunities and job prospects, necessitating the development of new skills, technologies, and services to support this evolving sector.

However, eMobility also faces several challenges. The substantial initial cost associated with EVs and installation of charging infrastructure often discourages potential customers and investors, while the insufficient availability of public charging stations poses limitations on the range and accessibility of EVs. The increased use of EVs also puts extra strain on an electricity network infrastructure that is not growing fast enough to support the increased demand for battery charging.

Therefore, eMobility requires a holistic and collaborative approach, involving various stakeholders, such as manufacturers, dealers, distributors, users, governments, and financiers.

I'm afraid you are infringing our trade mark. I am the owner of 'Drive Green' and our trademark covers the use of the name drive green stylized with graphic. Our logo even includes a leaf! Direct infringement and I ask that you desist from using the name drive green, otherwise we will have to take legal action. Sorry about that and I think you should have a word with your marketing department about their dilligence, however I know these things happen. If you could however please stop using our trademark immediately I would be very grateful. Thanks
