Acronym: EVECRI
Project Title: Electric Vehicles and Charging Crossborders Infrastructure
Duration: 24 months (13/04/2021 - 12/04/2023)
Description: The main issue for electric vehicles adoption today is the lack of continuous, easy to use and widely spread network of charging points outside main cities, and people’s low awareness of electric vehicle’s benefits.
Objectives:
The main objective is to enhance entrepreneurship and cooperation in the cross-border area, creating a vibrant network of EV supporters among local firms and municipalities. This will be achieved by encouraging SME’s to install 50 chargers for electric vehicles to increase the current charging network and stimulate the usage of EV in the Cross-Border Region.
Specific Objectives:
- To build shared EV Charging Spots and promote integrated territorial development by attracting charging stations operators to the area
- To benefit the natural environment and society through fostering trans- border cooperation for energy efficiency and climate and environment friendly technologies like EV
- To implement an innovative approach to interconnecting and interoperability of cross-border EV charging networks
Expected Results: Enhanced entrepreneurship related to electric mobility and EV, and fostered job creation in the region by targeted support of 9 SME’s in the cross- border area: 4 in Greece and 5 in Bulgaria.
