Turning electric mobility bottlenecks into research
Electric mobility is still riddled with complex and critical bottlenecks. Clearing them requires actions both in science and industry.
Join EMRC in discovering the questions that everybody in this sector should be asking and work to answer them through research, innovation pilots, and business collaboration.
Research themes
At EMRC, we embrace the principle of “follow the electron.” This journey begins with electrons being released in sustainable power plants. These electrons travel through power systems to chargers, and from the chargers to electric vehicle (EV) batteries. Finally, they turn the wheels of vehicles that transport goods and people, fulfilling essential needs.
This holistic approach ensures that every step of the energy journey is optimized for sustainability and efficiency. We drive towards this optimized energy journey by enabling collaborative research activities within the following five tangible themes.
