Unlocking the potential of electric vehicles -EURELECTRIC publishes paper on smart charging

摘要

E-mobility is a great opportunity for the electricity sector and customers alike. For instance, electric vehicles (EVs) can help to integrate renewable energy into the distribution grid. But depending on when these cars charge, they may also put a significant strain on grids. To avoid this and make the most of EVs' flexibility and storage potential, a EURELECTRIC paper proposes one straightforward solution: smart charging. Divided into three main parts, the EURELECTRIC paper examines the benefits that smart charging can bring to customers, power systems, and society as a whole. It concludes with recommendations on how such smart charging functionalities can be put in place.
