Project Impact

The NEVERFLAT project aims to contribute to long-term changes in how EV infrastructure is designed, deployed, and used – both technically and socially. Its expected impacts are spread across environmental, economic, and societal levels.

Environmental Impact

NEVERFLAT supports the shift away from fossil fuels by making electric vehicle use more practical and accessible. It improves the integration of renewable energy sources into charging infrastructure and helps reduce strain on local power grids through bi-directional charging and energy load balancing.

Technical and Operational Impact

The project introduces a modular charging solution that can be replicated in different settings, including cities, campuses, and mixed-use areas. It provides data-driven tools to improve planning decisions and demonstrates how compact, low-power chargers can function in space-limited environments.

Economic and Market Impact

NEVERFLAT contributes to reducing infrastructure costs through efficient hardware design. It opens space for new services and business models, such as shared charging and energy return incentives, and supports local economies by creating opportunities for service providers, municipalities, and startups.

Social Impact

The project improves access to EV charging in locations without private parking or existing infrastructure. Its services are designed to be easy to use and inclusive, helping reduce adoption barriers. It also involves communities in shaping local charging options based on actual needs and preferences.

Policy and Replicability

NEVERFLAT offers a tested reference for public authorities and planners aiming to expand EV infrastructure. It produces insights and data that can guide national and EU-level strategies, and promotes open standards and adaptable models suited to different urban and regional contexts.

NEVERFLAT’s impact is not limited to one sector or location. Through its pilots and cross-sector collaboration, it provides a practical pathway for expanding EV infrastructure that is affordable, inclusive, and ready for long-term use.
