Potential of integrating electric vehicles into Europe’s electricity system
We are exploring the potential of electric vehicles (passenger cars, light and heavy-duty commercial vehicles) to provide flexibility through bidirectional charging in Europe and individual member states. In addition to determining the technical potential, we also focus on the economic viability of and business models for bidirectional charging. Further, we identify the obstacles hindering widespread implementation of bidirectional charging (for example, legal framework, the availability of vehicles).
