ComfficientShare

Comfortable and efficient electric vehicle and charge point sharing for residential districts.

MAY 2022

TEST SITE SELECTED
Among several suitable site candidates, we chose a residential neighborhood in Nymphenburg based on technical requirements and residents' interest in our project.

AUGUST 2022

PARTICIPANTS FOUND
In July, we held an information evening on site in our residential neighborhood in Nymphenburg. As a result, we were able to convince nine households to participate in our project.

SEPTEMBER 2022

START PHASE 1: INITIAL MOBILITY BEHAVIOR RECORDING
Our first trial phase started at the end of September. In this phase, we installed a GPS receiver in all of our participants' private cars, which permanently records the vehicles' movements.

OCTOBER 2022

MILESTONE 1
Finally, the time had come - the MCube Cluster was able to meet with all employees and partners for the first time in presence above the roofs of Munich in the beautiful Vorhoelzer Forum of the TUM.

NOVEMBER 2022

PARTICIPANTS SELECTED FOR PHASE 2
Based on the recorded mobility behavior and with the goal of obtaining as diverse a group of people as possible, we selected five households.
These will each receive an electric vehicle for the second testing period.

December 2022

START PHASE 2: ELECTRIC VEHICLES HANDED OVER
Shortly before Christmas, we selected five households which each received an electric vehicle in the second trial phase. They will now use them privately for the next few months in exchange for their combustion engine.

Comfortable and efficient electric vehicle and charge point sharing for residential districts.

The aim of the ComfficientShare project is to develop, implement, and test shared charging and electrified car-sharing solutions at the district level. These solutions should be designed to guarantee the users comfort and reliability at a low cost. At the same time, the operation of charging points and vehicles should be made economically attractive for the operator by increasing efficiency and capacity utilization. The project focuses on the complete electrification of a test site by introducing electric vehicles and charging points into an urban residential district. The charging points and vehicles are used exclusively by local residents and are specifically integrated into the energy system of the site so that the installed connected load can be kept low. The project aims to derive recommendations for action and findings that help to reduce the number of vehicles in urban living quarters and to electrify them, to reduce the investment required for the expansion of the charging infrastructure, derive recommendations for action and design new housing projects and create economic business models for charging infrastructure and car sharing operators. Findings from the project will be used by the consortium partners as a basis for the development of the new vehicle, mobility, and charging infrastructure concepts. In addition, ElectromobilityProvider (EMP), fleet operator, charge-point operator (CPO), housing associations, and manufacturers of charging hardware can gain insights into the design and operation of economic business models in the field of site electrification.

Imagine that there was always an electric vehicle parked in your underground car park on a fixed
reserved parking space and a charging station ready for you and you don't even have to
take care of cleaning and TÜV yourself. The only condition: You leave your own
vehicle and share the provided vehicle pool with a fixed group of users
from your housing community. Doesn't that sound tempting?
