This document summarizes a meeting about electric vehicles held in Greenville, Belgium. It discusses the introduction and growth of electric vehicles, driven by factors like energy efficiency, environmental impact, and oil independence. It then describes the Flemish Living Lab initiative, a public-private partnership that established open innovation platforms to test electric vehicles and charging infrastructure in real-world conditions from 2011-2014. Over 100 families and companies tested over 90 electric vehicles and used 157 charging locations with 839 charging points. The initiative generated over 1 million kilometers of driving data. Key lessons learned include the importance of interoperability between charging networks and the potential for mobility apps and electric vehicles to enable new shared transport models.

14. Flemish Living Lab : 2011-2014

Call end 2010 for setting up a “Living Lab Electric Vehicles” to facilitate and accelerate the
innovation and adoption of electric vehicles in the Flemish region.

Set up an open “real-life” innovation platform in which innovations can be tested by
representative end users in their own living and working environment.

Decision Flemish Government (15/7/2011) : Approval of 5 different platforms (3 years)
