Table 21 Investigation result of related CSTEP dimensions for business ecosystem elements
CSTEP dimension | Agent name | Current ecosystem condition |
|---|---|---|
Climate, environmental and geographic situation | EV users | • The Danish weather (not too hot in the summer and not too cold in the winter) is suitable for EVs |

And EVs may, in many circumstances, be a good investment (compared to conventional) due to the current and future regulations |
Technology (Infrastructure, facilities, technological skills, technology readiness) | Charging box supplier DSO | • Use Advanced Metering Infrastructure in EV charging boxes to collect consumer data (such as charging rate and battery capacity) • A limited number of implemented EV charging algorithms • EV users manually decide the time for charging • Distribution grids are not dimensioned to the increasing electrification that introduces new Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), such as EVs |
Economy and finance | EV users DSO | • Distribution tariffs are close to being simple flat rate (one peak period price change during winter) |
