Germany, Netherlands and Belgium develop clearing house for e-mobility
|
 Three operators of charging networks for electric cars are developing a common European clearing house for e-mobility. It was announced at the European Motor Show in Brussels on January 16th.
This joint initiative of the operators behind Blue Corner (B), e-laad (NL) and ladenetz (D), called e-clearing.net, will act as the central interface that streamlines authorisation, clearing and a vast array of value-added services for e-mobility.
Last year, the three operators involved signed an ‘e-roaming’ agreement, allowing their customers to easily recharge their e-cars through any of the other two networks.
A projected rise in e-mobility will necessitate a more comprehensive solution. Interconnecting the growing number of systems, integrating navigation and reservation options, and billing between providers, will be major tasks for e-clearing.net.
But the clearing house will not just help the network operators and e-mobility providers. Manufacturers, importers and leasing companies will also benefit.
The first applications will go online in June 2012, and will be free of charge for the first few years.
