I think the expectation is that as the grid slowly gets "smart" this will reduce the peaky-ness of demand generated by electric car charging. If the price of a kWh is dynamic based on current use then the combination of smart charging stations & locally installed batteries should even things out a lot. Obviously the total consumption will increase dramatically. If this shift takes place the society-wide energy mix will include a lot less petrol/gasoline/diesel and lot more electricity. Hopefully the prices of solar & wind will continue to fall and the shift in this mix will be massively to the advantage of the environment - and to the quality of life in our cities. |
