There is little debate about a charging point in your garage. It is yours. But what about charging points in the street? In this short podcast, Tim Schittekatte interviews Luca Lo Schiavo, Vice-Director Energy Infrastructure and Unbundling at the Italian regulator ARERA. The Italian experience is an interesting case in this regard. Namely, a call for pilot projects was launched to build and operate public EV charging stations between 2011 and 2015. Three possible business models were proposed, which were distinct in terms of the operator (the DSO or a third-party), the number of competing retailers at the recharging infrastructure and the allowed degree of competition between charging stations in a determined area.
