Abstract
This paper reflects the essential role of supportive infrastructure in the mass implementation of electric drive vehicle technology. A focus is placed on the development of comprehensive systems that provide efficient and diverse recharging solutions for vehicle drivers. Mass adoption of electric mobility will reflect advances in the vehicles themselves, their infrastructural networks, and their position in the automotive market. Progress in these areas is highly related, and mandates coordinated design efforts. This paper discusses current problem areas, ongoing developments, and future trends in the design and development of charging systems for battery electric vehicles. The application of infrastructures that are simple, familiar, and context-sensitive is essential to promote consumer confidence and thereby enable successful market penetration. Specific requirements and conditions for the design of infrastructure systems for electric mobility are presented.

Summary
Electric vehicles (EVs) are known for their advantages as local, emission free, energy efficient, and noiseless means of transport. (speed, torque, handling), the action radius and availability of recharging facilities, and the placement of EVs in the automotive market [1,2,3]. These three issues are highly interconnected and have contributed to a seemingly endless delay in market implementation. In the city of Rotterdam, promotion of EVs has started with pilot infrastructure installation projects, EVS24 International Battery, Hybrid and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle Symposium. Charging patterns and available charging infrastructure have a large impact on the way in which people use EVs and impact market penetration.
