Summary
On the face of it, the electric power utilities would seem to gain from the electric vehicle market, as the EVs (= Battery Vehicles) will need frequent and regular recharging. Other schemes, such as the swapping of battery packs, require a degree of compatibility (or inventory) which is simply not readily feasible in anything other than very local markets (like Denmark or Israel), where one model of EV can dominate, usually via government decree.
Members of the Austrian Society of Automotive Engineers have access to all lectures of the International Vienna Motor Symposia.
