The adoption of electric vehicles can lead to a significant annual investment in power lines and transformers, according to a study Distribution grid planning for a successful energy transition – focus on electromobility by Agora Verkehrswende, Agora Energiewende and Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP).
However, by reducing the total number of electric cars as well as introducing “grid-friendly charging”, investment needed can be reduced by as much as 50 per cent by 2050. Adopting grid-friendly charging means refining the behaviour of customers with electric vehicles in order to optimise the charging process and smooth network load.
Based on the study, here are three recommendations for policymakers who want to introduce grid-friendly charging:
