How does e-mobility actually work?
HSZG shows interested citizens e-cars, charging stations and co.
On October 8, 2020, under the open sky and in beautiful October evening weather, the Saxony⁵ project team at HSZG, together with the Zittau Adult Education Center, invited interested citizens to a discussion on electric mobility.
Saxony⁵ staff member Volker Brade presented the University’s electric car, explaining and discussing how it works, as well as its advantages and disadvantages. In addition, the audience tested the charging station and an e-scooter. Finally, guests were able to get a sense of how photovoltaics, battery storage, e-mobility, and a combined heat and power plant could be integrated in the e-mobility showroom, which is currently under construction. This integration of different energy types (“sector coupling”) is intended to ensure a stable supply of electricity and heat, particularly in rural areas:
The topic of the evening provided plenty to talk about and exciting insights into the over 100-year-old but highly topical technology of electromobility.
