Two days at Europes premier energy conference, eurelectric 2017, reveal how utilities are rapidly adjusting — and looking forward- to a new era of opportunity. Three years ago, less than half of delegates of this conference saw an opportunity in decarbonisation. For this 2017 event, that number has climbed to over 80%. Tesla production capability needs to increase exponentially over the next six quarters in order to meet targets. This means 350,000 Model 3s alone need to be delivered in 2018, representing over 75% of all Tesla car sales in the year. That equates to a ramp-up in that is twice as steep as aircraft production during WWII. There could not be a more fitting illustration in terms of the birth and re-birth of an industry. But production alone is not the only EV headache: Laszlo Varro from the IEA illustrated the challenge inherent in which millions of people will habitually charge overnight charging patterns.
