Engineering, testing, and consulting expertise along the entire e-mobility value chain — from battery & drivetrain to charging infrastructure and energy systems.
Electric mobility is more than a vehicle with an electric drivetrain and battery. It transforms the entire value chain — from automotive through energy to digitalization and the data economy.
Since 1996, P3 has accompanied OEMs, suppliers, energy providers, and mobility players along the entire e-mobility value chain. We combine engineering depth with consulting expertise and speak the language of all three worlds — automotive, energy, digitalization. Concrete. Field-tested. On equal footing.
Electrification in numbers.
20+
years of experience in e-mobility projects — from component development to infrastructure rollout for mobility, energy, and supplier clients.
2019
Launch of the P3 Charging Index: independent methodology for real replenished range (not brochure kW) — P3 collects the data itself.
04/2024
AFIR applies EU-wide: binding minimum targets and user requirements for charging infrastructure — P3 supports with strategy, implementation, and compliance.
02/2027
Digital Battery Passport becomes mandatory: P3 delivers digital traceability and LCA solutions for EV supply chains together with Circularize.
What you achieve with P3 Electric Mobility.
Battery Technology & High-Voltage Systems
From cell selection through battery system design to failure prognosis: P3 has its own test rigs for battery and grid testing as well as deep experience in high-voltage component development — batteries, electric motors, and power electronics.
2027
Cell & Battery Design
Conception of battery systems, selection of cell chemistries, and design optimization for range, lifetime, and cost.
Own Test Rigs
Battery and grid testing plus simulations on P3-owned test rigs — from component to complete system.
Failure Rate Prognosis
Method development for predicting failure rates of high-voltage batteries — basis for warranty and lifetime management.
Battery Passport
Introduction of digital battery passports for the EV industry in accordance with EU regulation — together with Circularize.
Electric Drivetrain
P3 supports the development of electrified vehicle components from the first idea to series production. Project and supplier management for electric motors, power electronics, and high-voltage components — combined with energy management optimization for maximum efficiency.
+ 77%
more replenished range in 20 minutes between the first Porsche Taycan (2019) and the current generation — the innovation leap in electric drivetrain over 5 years.
Component Development
Project and supplier management for electric motors, power electronics, high-voltage batteries — from specification to series readiness.
Energy Management
Optimization of energy management functions for electrified vehicles — focus on range and consumption efficiency.
800-Volt Architectures
Deep expertise in high-voltage architectures enabling charging power above 300 kW — as confirmed by the P3 Charging Index.
Industrialization
Supporting the scale-up from prototype to series production — including factory planning for battery manufacturing.
Charging Infrastructure
From standardization through conception to rollout: P3 accompanies OEMs, energy providers, CPOs, and all other players along the entire charging infrastructure value chain — from market analysis through technology assessment to strategy.
2024
the EU regulation on charging infrastructure (AFIR) sets binding minimum targets — P3 has analyzed the 10 most important market influences for the e-truck charging market.
Market Analysis & Strategy
Deep market knowledge across the entire ecosystem — from home through fleet to public fast charging. Strategic recommendations based on sound market and technology understanding.
Technology Assessment
Comparative technical evaluation of charging solutions — from inductive charging through (buffered) HPC to MCS technology for heavy commercial vehicles.
Roll-out & Site Planning
Definition and operational development of charging sites — from site selection through supplier assessment to operation of charging infrastructure.
Smart Charging
Integration of EV charging into connected energy systems — bidirectional, grid-friendly, economically viable.
Smart Charging & Smart Energy
The connection between e-mobility and the energy sector determines whether the mobility transition succeeds. P3 links vehicle, charging infrastructure, home storage, and the power grid into one intelligent system — through its own subsidiary P3 Energy and the Smart.Energy.Lab.
2026
Vehicle-to-Grid becomes a game changer — P3 is developing the concepts, business models, and technical standards together with relevant market players.
Bidirectional Charging
Conception and piloting of V2G, V2H, and V2L applications for OEMs, energy providers, and aggregators.
Grid Integration
Load management and grid services from charging infrastructure — from individual connection to megawatt hub.
Own laboratory for tests and simulations around energy, storage, and charging solutions.
Business Models
Development of new revenue models from e-mobility & energy — from dynamic tariffs to energy pooling.
Charging Index & Benchmarking
Since 2019, P3 has set the industry standard for comparable real charging speed with the Charging Index. Instead of theoretical kW values, P3 measures the actual replenished range in 20 minutes — using own charging curves, own measurements, without manufacturer influence.
22
electric vehicles were compared in the P3 Charging Index 2024 — including Chinese models such as NIO ET5 and XPeng G9 for the first time.
Real Charging Speed
Index value 1.0 = 300 km replenished range in 20 minutes. The metric that really counts for users.
International Scope
Own editions for Europe, North America, and Asia — the only global comparative study of its kind.
Own Measurements
P3 records all charging curves itself, at chargers of the same manufacturer, under identical conditions.
eTruck Charging Index
Own benchmark for heavy commercial vehicles — basis for fleet electrification in logistics.
Fleet & Truck Electrification
The electrification of fleets and heavy transport cannot be transferred one-to-one from the passenger car business. P3 supports logistics companies, fleet managers, and OEMs with own studies on TCO, depot charging, and charging infrastructure — through to concrete implementation planning.
TCO
P3 study shows: battery-electric heavy-duty trucks reach TCO parity with diesel at current energy prices — the depot charging concept is decisive.
TCO Calculation
Total cost of ownership for e-trucks vs. diesel — scenario-based for your fleet profiles and routes.
Depot Charging
Best-practice solutions for logistics depots from the P3 Energy Excellence / Trucks Report.
Megawatt Charging
Conception of MCS sites for heavy commercial vehicles along major corridors.
Subsidies & Regulation
Consulting on AFIR, EU Facility Calls, and national subsidy programs.
