“…Bearing in mind the need to promote eco-friendly solutions, electromobility, including electric vehicles, is one of the trends which calls for further promotion [29]. One of the reasons why the development of electromobility is hampered appears to be the travelling population's anxiety about the limitations caused by the necessity of the vehicle recharging on-route, referred to as range anxiety (more broadly discussed in [30,31], inter alia). At the same time, it should be noted that vehicle recharging by means of municipal charging stations usually proceeds much faster than charging at home.…”

Decision Making Support for Local Authorities Choosing the Method for Siting of In-City EV Charging Stations

Development of electromobility in urban areas requires an appropriate level of vehicle charging infrastructure. Numerous methods for siting of charging stations have been developed to date, and they appear to be delivering diverse outcomes for the same area, which is why local authorities face the problem of choosing the right station layout. The solution proposed in this article is to use a travel planner to evaluate the distribution of charging stations over the area of a metropolis. The decision making support is achieved by determining optimal travel routes for electric vehicles according to their initial state of charge for the three selected station siting methods. The evaluation focused on the following three aspects: (1) number of travels that cannot be made (due to the lack of a charging station at a certain distance around the start point), (2) extension of the travel caused by the need to recharge the vehicle on-route, and (3) additional energy consumption by electric vehicles required to reach the charging station (necessity of departing from the optimal route). An analysis of the results has made it possible to determine a solution which is superior to others. For the case study analysed in the paper, i.e., the territory of the Metropolis of Upper Silesia and Dabrową Basin (Górnośląsko-Zagłębiowska Metropolia, GZM), the distribution of charging stations established in line with method I has returned the best results. What the method in question also makes possible is to indicate a safe minimum energy reserve to complete the travel by eliminating situations of unexpected vehicle immobilisation due to on-route energy depletion and by minimising the phenomenon referred to as range anxiety.

“…This study focuses on new and existing EV adopters who may experience this emerging phenomenon that we describe as CPT. In addition to the highly cited phenomenon of range anxiety [4][5][6], we define CPT as the psychological, physiological, and behavioural condition where EV user's experiences and anxiety vary in response to the availability, location, payment process and operability of an EV public rapid charge point. We argue that resolving these five significant obstacles to EV use reduces long-term barriers to sector growth, thus stimulating a decline in CPT, illustrated in Figure 1.…”

For electric vehicles (EVs) to realise the UK government’s goal of mass-market dominance, there are surmountable hurdles to resolve before car users accept this radical shift in motoring technology. This study focuses on recent EV adopters who experience a new phenomenon described as charge point trauma (CPT). In contrast to range anxiety, we define CPT as the psychological, physiological, and behavioural condition where EV user’s experiences develop trauma or anxiety in response to the availability of sufficient charge points, locations, payment processes, and operability. Resolving impediments to EV usage reduces long-term growth barriers, which we argue can subsequently lower or even eliminate EV driver anxiety. We conclude that range anxiety still plays a major part in overall EV driver trauma, and after deep analysis of our case study data conclude that a trauma other than range anxiety exists at the charge point. To mitigate this phenomenon, we propose a regulatory framework comprising a series of stimuli to encourage EV uptake. These recommendations should be targeted at regulating a new generation of EV charging stations to meet operational parity with current fossil fuel filling stations by ensuring they are always on, available in sufficient numbers, accessible and operable as part of the UK motorway and major trunk network. This will de-risk EV purchasing and stimulate their adoption in this embryonic stage, reducing CPT in the process.

“…However, EV charging could follow relatively consistent patterns as customers would like to charge their vehicle after home arrival. Range anxiety can also contribute here, and the drivers will prefer to charge their EVs overnight for the next day trip even when the battery has sufficient charge [8][9][10].…”

Estimation of Harmonic Emission of Electric Vehicles and Their Impact on Low Voltage Residential Network

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The EV penetration in the low voltage residential grids is expected to increase rapidly in the coming years. It is expected that EV consumers will prefer overnight home charging because of its convenience and lack of charging infrastructure. The EV battery chargers are nonlinear loads and likely to increase the current harmonic emission in the distribution network. The imminent increase of EV load requires upgrading or managing the existing power system to support the additional charging load. This paper provides the estimation of the current harmonic emission of the EV charging load at different voltage distortions using the stochastic EV load model. The impact of EV charging on the distribution transformer is also presented.
