Cloud and IoT take the pain out of switching One of the major concerns that EV drivers have is charging . In fact , range anxiety is one of the primary barriers to consumers buying electric cars . The knowledge that , in some parts of the world , charging solutions are scarce in comparison to the number of EVs on the road is a concern . But , as charging infrastructure grows , it is becoming more intelligent and , soon enough , the cloud and IoT will become critical components of bringing smart charging solutions to the masses .
“ For those interested in EVs , they want to know how that can operate in a world where recharging takes more time and planning than simply pulling a lorry or van into a petrol station for five minutes and filling up ,” says van der Wilt .
“ For many operators , this interest in EVs is also their first real exposure to the power of IoT and how it gives them oversight of their entire operation , along with the insights that can be gained by data .”
While IoT has been growing in popularity across smaller digital ecosystems for the past decade , applications in the EV industry will ramp up the use of connectivity and integrate much larger networks linking buildings to cars and allowing EVs to interconnect . This will provide an abundance of benefits in both maintaining and operating vehicles as we enter an era of mobility-asa-service .
