Abstract(s)
In the coming years, we will witness a change in the current car fleet sales, from traditional fuel engines towards
electrical vehicles (EVs), particularly passenger light-duty vehicles. They plug into the grid and store the
electricity in rechargeable batteries; therefore, the widespread adoption of EVs will bring many challenges for
the distribution network. Forecasting the impact of EVs on distribution networks is a difficult task given the
uncertainty on the potential evolution of their sales.
This study forecasts the EVs sales growth for the 2020-2030 decade in 3 possible evolution scenarios, carried out for a given Portuguese regional area. The demanded energy for charging the batteries was estimated, considering one long and one short route. The analysis was applied to three EVs models: Nissan Leaf, Tesla Model 3, and Renault Zoe.
The impacts on the rated power of the distribution network are calculated for the three scenarios, and the results are presented, standing out the considerable insufficient power at peak h
