Growing consumption of electricity and alarming environmental issues necessitate widespread integration of renewable energy and smartly using the generated energy. Smart grid conceptualises solutions to keep the rocketing peak demand under control and helps overcome the stringent regulatory requirements for grid connectivity. One significant contributor to smart grid energy management is electromobility. Industry experts predict that between 5 and 10% of all vehicles world-wide will be electric-driven by 2020. For noticeable reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, smart grids and smart electric vehicle based transport solutions must be implemented simultaneously. Technically advanced electric vehicles infrastructure can benefit from and trigger investments in smart grids at the same time. Research, technological advancements and initiatives are crucial in driving improvements in the ways we manage power and shaping the future of our electrical system. Partnerships between institutes and industries, consumers and policy makers are playing a key role to position electric vehicles on the global markets. The ASGE 2013 conference features thought-provoking discussions on transforming power grids to serve our evolving needs.
