SCAPE is a member of E-VOLVE, a virtual cluster which brings together 14 EU-funded projects (8 active and 6 completed) conducting innovative research on electric vehicle transportation. The goal is to join forces and explore synergies in delivering innovations that cover a wide range of EVs components, designed especially for 3rd generation EVs to meet future mobility needs in both urban environments (fast charging) and inter-city trips (increased driving range) whilst supporting energy efficiency, usability and economic competitivness demanded by markets.

Cluster members benefit from joint communication and dissemination activities with the aim of increasing the outreach of individual projects’ workplans and results and enhancing the visibility of the cluster’s activities in general.
