Negli ultimi anni, il tema della transizione ecologica è diventato centrale nel palcoscenico mondiale. In Europa, il settore del trasporto è atteso da una grande rivoluzione verso la mobilità elettrica spinta dai nuovi target e policies redatti dagli organi dell’Unione. Di pari passo con l’aumento dei veicoli elettrici in circolazione, anche l’infrastruttura di ricarica sarà chiamata a una forte crescita, con un mercato pre-2030 atteso nell’ordine delle centinaia di miliardi di euro. Nel prossimo futuro, con l’aumento dei veicoli elettrici e delle relative ricariche, è stimato che le reti elettriche e il loro bilanciamento saranno sottoposte a un forte stress, accentuato ancor più dalla penetrazione delle rinnovabili intermittenti nel mix energetico. In questo contesto, sono in sviluppo alcune soluzioni nella ricarica per limitare gli effetti collaterali sulla rete e aiutarne il bilanciamento. Da una review della letteratura scientifica attuale, è emersa la mancanza di una panoramica dei diversi Business Models presenti nella catena del valore della ricarica elettrica, e dell’impatto che le sopra citate soluzioni possono avere su questi. Questa ricerca colma, in primo luogo, la mancanza della citata panoramica, sviluppandosi in tre direzioni: fornisce una nuova tassonomia dei ruoli, analizza le sinergie derivanti da una loro integrazione da parte della stessa azienda, sviluppa una visione dettagliata dei business model dei vari player integrati e non. In seconda istanza, questa tesi analizza i cambiamenti a cui la panoramica, nei suoi diversi tre punti, sarà sottoposta con l’introduzione delle sopra citate soluzioni favorenti l’integrazione nella rete del carico elettrico derivante dai veicoli.

Abstract
In the last few years, the ecological transition became a central theme worldwide. In Europe, the transport sector will drastically shift towards electric mobility in the coming years, compelled by the new targets and policies of the Union's Institutions. Hand in hand with the increase of electric vehicles (EVs) on the streets, the EV charging infrastructure will also undergo great growth, with a pre-2030 market expected to amount to hundreds of billions of euros. In the near future, with the increase of electric vehicles and related charges, it is estimated that the electric grids and their balance are going to be subjected to great stress, emphasized even more by the penetration of intermitted renewables in the energy mix. In this context, some solutions are being developed in the EV charge to limit the collateral effects on the grid and help its balance. Reviewing the to-date scientific literature, it has emerged the lack of an overview of the different Business Models present in the EV charge value chain, and of the impact that the previously cited solutions would have on these models. This research fills, in the first place, the absence of the overview mentioned before, by developing in 3 directions: it presents a new taxonomy of the roles, analyses the synergies that companies could achieve by integrating more roles, develops a detailed view of the Business Models of the various players, integrated and specialized ones. Secondly, this thesis analyses the changes to which the overview, in its three points, will be subjected by the introduction of the previously cited solutions that favour the integration in the grid of the EV load.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
