Charging network for electric cars

Abstract

Several EU countries have made significant announcements that an electric vehicle with an internal combustion engine will no longer be able to be put into operation from 2030, leading to a sharp increase in the number of hybrid electric and plug-in vehicles on the roads in the coming years. Based on the above, traffic habits will also change. The current fossil-based vehicle charging stations will be replaced by electric charging, which will have to meet special needs and will change the current use of electricity networks. Electric vehicle charging and the construction of the associated network are becoming increasingly important as the number of electric vehicles increases. The article analyzes some issues related to the charging network of electric cars. The charging methods of electric cars and their characteristics, the types of charging stations and their impact on the charging grid are a major challenge for the future electricity system, both in terms of the electricity generated and the regularity of the grid. Proper energy management raises several important issues for future solutions.
