Modelling grid effects of electric vehicle charging in the next decade

September 23, 2022

Simulation is based on a model, revealed in March, for charging demand that can be applied to different human populations under different conditions.

In a demonstration, they have now applied it to the whole Western US up to the year 2035.

“We considered the entire Western US region, because California depends heavily on electricity imports from the other Western states,” according to Stanford researcher Siobhan Powell. “EV charging plus all other electricity uses have consequences for the whole Western region given the interconnected nature of our electric grid.”
