Abstract

Strong adoption dynamics of private passenger electric vehicles (EV) will require adjustments in the operation and planning of electrical distribution grids. This work proposes a novel approach to assess the impact of electric vehicle charging while considering EV adoption dynamics and commuting patterns. The proposed model uses Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and is applied to a real-world case study. Results suggest that clustering of EV charging will occur and underline the relevance of accurate spatial and temporal charging pattern estimations for distribution grid planning. Overloading of distribution network elements was observed even under light EV penetration rates.
