Frequently asked

Glossary

1

Battery electric vehicle (BEV)

A vehicle driven only by an electric motor drawing on an on-board traction battery, with no combustion engine. At an ecological-vehicle show such as Ever Monaco, BEVs are the core exhibit category across passenger cars, light commercial vans, two-wheelers and shuttles.

2

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV)

A vehicle combining a combustion engine with a battery that can be recharged from the grid. Exhibitors usually quote electric-only range and combined CO2 figures, which are the numbers fleet buyers compare on the stand.

3

Range anxiety

Buyer concern about running out of charge before reaching a charger. It is the reason electric-mobility stands pair vehicle launches with charging-map, route-planning and battery-warranty information.

4

AC charging (Mode 3)

Slow or destination charging from an alternating-current supply, typically 3-22 kW via a wallbox or public charge point. Relevant to hotels, offices and residential parking, which are common topics on the Monaco show floor.

5

DC fast charging / high-power charging (HPC)

Direct-current charging at 50 kW and above, used for motorway and corridor top-ups. HPC equipment (150-350 kW and beyond) is a standard exhibit family at electric-mobility trade fairs alongside the grid connection and cooling hardware it needs.

6

Combined Charging System (CCS)

The European standard connector family for AC and DC charging of cars and vans. Interoperability and connector standards are recurring discussion points for operators and installers at Riviera mobility events.

7

CHAdeMO

A DC fast-charging connector standard used mainly by Japanese-brand vehicles and by vehicle-to-grid pilots. Its presence or absence on a stand signals which vehicle brands an exhibitor's hardware supports.

8

Megawatt charging system (MCS)

A high-power charging standard aimed at heavy trucks and buses. It appears at mobility shows alongside fleet-depot planning, since megawatt demand changes a site's grid connection.

9

Vehicle-to-grid (V2G)

Bi-directional charging that lets an electric vehicle discharge power back to a building or grid. V2G and vehicle-to-home pilots are typical conference topics where renewable energy and mobility exhibitors meet.

10

Second-life battery

A traction battery retired from vehicle service and reused for stationary storage. It connects the electric-vehicle and renewable-energy sides of the show, since it lowers the cost of buffer storage for solar and charging hubs.

11

Solar photovoltaic (PV)

Electricity generation from solar panels. At Ever Monaco, PV exhibitors typically present rooftop, carport and canopy systems, including solar carports that shade parking bays while charging vehicles.

12

Green hydrogen and electrolyser

Hydrogen produced with renewable electricity via water electrolysis. Exhibitors present electrolysers, storage and fuel-cell vehicles together, because the business case depends on the whole chain, not just the vehicle.

13

Hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV)

A vehicle that generates electricity on board from hydrogen. It is presented as an option for long-haul, heavy-duty and high-utilisation fleets where battery weight or recharging time is a constraint.

14

Microgrid

A localised electricity network that can run connected to or independent of the main grid, usually combining solar, storage and control software. Microgrid and island-grid cases are relevant to Monaco's compact, high-value electricity demand.

15

Smart grid and demand response

Grid management that shifts or trims consumption in response to price or network signals. For charging operators it determines when vehicles charge and whether a site can add chargers without a costly connection upgrade.

16

Behind-the-meter storage

Batteries installed on the customer side of the meter to cut peaks and store self-generated solar power. It is the usual pairing offered to businesses that host charging infrastructure.

17

Life-cycle assessment (LCA)

A cradle-to-grave accounting of a vehicle's or system's emissions and resource use, including battery manufacture and recycling. LCA figures are increasingly displayed next to headline zero-emission claims.

18

Retrofit electrification

Converting an existing combustion vehicle or fleet asset to electric drive. Retrofit specialists appear at ecological mobility shows as a lower-cost alternative to buying new, particularly for classic cars, buses and utility vehicles.

19

Mobility as a service (MaaS)

Bundling public transport, car sharing, bike sharing and ride-hailing into one app or subscription. It is relevant to compact urban areas such as Monaco, where road space and parking are the binding constraint.

20

Carbon neutrality claim

A commitment or product claim that net greenhouse-gas emissions are balanced, usually through reductions plus offsetting. Buyers at the show should ask which scopes (1, 2 or 3) a claim covers and which year it targets.
