Interest in E-Mobility is growing. The decisive factor for the success of E-Mobility is a proper integration into the energy system from the outset. In this way, E-Mobility can be deployed faster, cost-effectively and can serve as additional support for the entire power system.
What happens with the power grid when everyone drives an electric car? Can I charge my electric car through the socket at home? The online magazine "Backbone" answers questions from consumers about the power grid and e-mobility.

VDE FNN explains through stories, interviews and videos how the power grid works and how E-Mobility can be properly integrated into the grid right from the beginning.
Using the power grid to charge electric vehicles (EV) poses new challenges to the whole energy system. Technical requirements for network technology and operation must be met in order to ensure a highly reliable power supply. These are defined by VDE FNN in its Application Rules and other documents to support the implementation of e-mobility.

The Technical Connection Rule for low voltage (VDE-AR-N 4100), as developed by VDE FNN, defines the necessary terms for integrating an increasing number of electric cars into the low voltage network.
The FNN Guideline "Grid integration of e-mobility" serves as a guideline for the wide distribution of electric vehicles (EV).
In the meta-study "Research overview for the grid integration of E-Mobility", VDE FNN and the Bundesverband der Energie- und Wasserwirtschaft e.V. (Federal Association of Energy and Water Management), BDEW, has published a report to investigate the impact of increasing e-mobility on the power grid. The meta-study provides recommendations based on scientific facts for a successful grid integration of E-Mobility.
