4. Preparing for the Large-

Large-Scale Introduction of PV 5. Development of Quick-
Quick-Chargers for Electric Vehicles
„In order to allow for the large-scale introduction of solar power facilities at a minimum
cost to society, it will be necessary to unify and improve the efficiency of all aspects of the Purpose: Diffusion of EV and contribution to reduction of CO2 emissions
