Work packages

The NEVERFLAT project is structured into seven interconnected Work Packages (WPs), each addressing a key aspect of the system’s development, deployment, and adoption. From identifying user needs and designing the technical architecture, to building and testing the charging infrastructure, and ensuring long-term impact through communication and exploitation, each WP plays a specific role in delivering an efficient, inclusive, and scalable EV charging solution across Europe.

  • 9WP1: Industry Landscaping, Requirements Co-design, Multilevel Systemic Architecture and Source Data Concentration

Lead Beneficiary: AARU
Duration: M1–M16

Objectives:
WP1 establishes the foundation for the NEVERFLAT system by analysing the EV charging landscape, engaging stakeholders, defining requirements, and designing the overall architecture and data integration approach.

  • T1.2: Requirements gathering and use-case co-design

  • T1.3: System architecture design

  • T1.4: Analytics methodology and model development

  • T1.5: Operational data modelling and interoperability API design

  • 9WP2: Smart Bi-directional Multi-vehicle Microgrid-integrated Multimodal Charging Station Development

Lead Beneficiary: TEK
Duration: M3–M24

Objectives:
WP2 focuses on designing and developing modular, bi-directional, and grid-integrated charging stations suitable for urban deployment, enabling interaction with renewable sources and microgrids.

Key Tasks:

  • T2.1: Design of DC/DC microgrid for local energy management

  • T2.2: Mechanical and structural integration

  • T2.3: V2G communication and power flow management

  • 9WP3: Social Innovation, Business Models Improvement, and Novel Value-added Services Design

Lead Beneficiary: ING
Duration: M9–M40

Objectives:
WP3 introduces inclusive, user-informed business models and services to address social, regulatory, and behavioural barriers and support fair and sustainable charging access.

Key Tasks:

  • T3.1: User acceptance analysis

  • T3.2: Socio-cultural database creation

  • T3.3: Development of novel services and business models

  • T3.4: Identification of remaining barriers to adoption

  • 9WP4: Advanced Data-driven and User-centred Tools Development and System Integration

Lead Beneficiary: G&C
Duration: M8–M24

Objectives:
WP4 develops intelligent planning, forecasting, and user-facing tools, and integrates them into the system to support efficient deployment and daily use of the NEVERFLAT infrastructure.

Key Tasks:

  • T4.1: Charging infrastructure planner and optimizer

  • T4.2: Generation forecasting and V2G/V2X module

  • T4.3: End-user application and wallet

  • T4.4: Full platform and system integration

  • 9WP5: Demonstration and Validation

Lead Beneficiary: TUB
Duration: M12–M42

Objectives:
WP5 validates the system in real-world pilot environments in Germany, Spain, and Romania. It assesses technical performance, user acceptance, and operational impact.

Key Tasks:

  • T5.1: Trial scenario and validation plan

  • T5.2: Pilot setup and monitoring

  • T5.3: Evaluation and impact assessment

  • 9WP6: Communication, Dissemination, Clustering and Exploitation

Lead Beneficiary: EDEN
Duration: M1–M42

Objectives:
WP6 ensures public visibility of the project, facilitates knowledge exchange, supports uptake and replication, and connects NEVERFLAT with related initiatives and stakeholders.

Key Tasks:

  • T6.1: Communication and dissemination activities

  • T6.2: Exploitation plan and IPR

  • T6.3: Stakeholder engagement

  • T6.4: Clustering and ecosystem expansion

  • 9WP7: Project Management and Coordination

WP7: Project Management and Coordination

Lead Beneficiary: AARU
Duration: M1–M42

Objectives:
WP7 provides administrative, financial, and technical coordination, ensuring progress tracking, risk management, and compliance with ethical and legal standards.

Key Tasks:

  • T7.1: Administrative and project coordination

  • T7.2: Technical and innovation management

  • T7.3: Quality assurance and risk management

  • T7.4: Data, ethics and equity compliance

Together, these Work Packages ensure that NEVERFLAT delivers a complete and practical solution, from concept to real-world implementation. The structure enables focused development within each area while maintaining strong integration across the project. This approach supports not only the technical feasibility of the system but also its social relevance, economic viability, and long-term sustainability across diverse European contexts.
