In Greece and Bulgaria, similarly to more advanced European countries, companies operating charging infrastructure are slowly taking ground. Two issues remain. Due to the currently relatively small number of electric vehicles they are not actively developing outside of major municipal areas. They are also not yet actively pursuing interoperability, which is becoming a prerequisite for electric vehicle users even if it has not yet been successfully addressed hardly anywhere.
Another common challenge and one of the obstacles for the adoption of electric vehicles are the differences in regulatory practices, mobility habits and business culture across state borders. To overcome this obstacle, dedicated to the transportation development organizations like BAEPS in Bulgaria and CERTH/HIT in Greece, along with the Association of RES Producers (SPEE-BG) are joining together in the efforts to solve these issues.  The main objective is to enhance entrepreneurship in the cross-border area through sharing, partnering and cross learning and creating a vibrant network between EV supporters within SMEs and municipalities. This task shall be achieved by convincing and encouraging potential partners from recently established SME's to install chargers for electric vehicles in order to increase the current charging network and therefore to stimulate the usage of EV in the Cross-Border Region. Additionally, meetings with various stakeholders, like: Automotive Professionals, Local Authorities, Government Authorities and Electric Utilities will be conducted in order to include them actively in the process. The idea is innovative, due to the fact that EV usage is getting more support on worldwide and EU level, but it is still not popular enough within the CB Area.
