Prevailing Stage of Development:
Demonstration
Brief description and/or other information regarding the project:
The functional demonstration MINI E Berlin powered by Vattenfall is a co-operation between Vattenfall and BMW. There are 50 MINI E (35 kWh. range ~ 180-200 km. max speed 152 km/h) mostly used by Berlin residents but also in fleet applications. Vattenfall delivers the required intelligent charging applications, the hardware for charging in private and public environments, and the electricity from RES keeping the whole project CO2-neutral. The EVs (MINI E) should function as energy storage capacity to help balancing the grid during periods of high energy feed-ins by RES.
