Efficient Grid Use Through Depot Charging and Cost-Reflective Pricing Highlighted as Key to Addressing Grid Impact from Electric Vehicle Charging

The discussion revolves around the impact of "charging tourism" on power grids and the often-overlooked potential of depot charging. Julia and Andreas from the Regulatory Assistance Project draw parallels between fuel tourism in places like Luxembourg and current electric vehicle (EV) charging issues, noting that efficient grid use via smart charging is crucial for reducing costs across systems, consumers, and environmental impacts. Depot charging for vehicles such as delivery trucks or buses offers significant flexibility due to their long stationary periods at depots. Smart charging involves two critical aspects: pricing signals and planning. Cost-reflective pricing incentivizes EV users to optimize their consumption by aligning with cheaper energy prices during off-peak hours. However, this requires regulated implementation which varies by region. Regarding infrastructure regulation in Europe, setting targets for member states to build capacity is a significant step forward but presents challenges given the different time horizons required for transport demand forecasting versus power grid planning. Coordination between transport stakeholders and energy market planners is essential to align projections with investment plans effectively. Finally, addressing bottlenecks within grids necessitates immediate action rather than waiting decades-long timelines typical of high-voltage megawatt-level planning needed for extensive electrification efforts.

Electric vehicles and charging infrastructure have become established in the mass market. But there are still some challenges when it comes to meeting demand, and the charging process does not always run smoothly. In this session, experts from industry, academia and NGOs will be discussing questions such as: Why is the public charging infrastructure unable to provide reliable charging? How must we adapt the existing charging infrastructure to accommodate commercial and heavy-duty vehicles? How can technology and technical standards keep up with the growth and diversification of the battery electric vehicle fleet? Join this discussion by players working on the front line of this market.
