Visions of a green future Sonderborg is a testing ground for electric cars and ProjectZero is a partner in “TEST an EV”The Project ‘Test an EV’ is the largest electric vehicle project in Europe which, in 2011 and 2012, will see 30 Danish municipalities and 2,400 test pilots take active part in finding out how best to implement the electric vehicle in today’s society.In Denmark, we know a lot about the climate, the environment and green energy (we gained already extensive knowledge on climate, environment and green energy). And likewise with the project ‘Test an EV’ we are in the pole position. Through our co-operationwith different educational institutions, other sectors and private companies, we are able to make the use of invaluable know-how and competences. During the project 80 families from the Sonderborg area will participate as test pilots and each family will be able to drive an electric car for 3 months free of charge. The project ‘Test an EV’ will position Danish Industry and research at the forefront of the rapidly growing clean technology sector and will prove that Denmark is both able and determined to make the electric vehicle a success.The project ‘Test an EV’ is meant to form the basis of future research within the field of environmental optimization in the choice of transport methods, general sustainability and an improved use of energy resources on national and international level. We must maintain Denmark’s head start in the field of electric vehicles and ensure that Danish Industry becomes the global leader when it comes to the knowhow and the experience within electric vehicle.The company behind ‘Test an EV’ is ChoosEV. • to gather know-how and experiences on how the electric vehicle affects the energy network• to learn about the potential in the value chain of the electric vehicle• to create a true picture of what might help solve the puzzle of the electric vehicle• to create the foundation for future Danish Industry within the field of clean technology
