Exploring the Impact of Electric Vehicles on Energy Grids
Jeffrey Lupient: Navigating Challenges, Presenting Solutions, and Pioneering Future Developments in Electric Vehicles As the world endeavours to mitigate the impacts of climate change, electric vehicles (EVs) have emerged as a promising solution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation sector. However, their widespread adoption poses significant challenges to existing energy grids. Exploring the impact of EVs on energy grids reveals a complex interplay between technological advancements, infrastructure demands, and energy management strategies. The surge in EV adoption is reshaping energy consumption patterns. Traditionally, energy grids were designed to accommodate one-way power flow from centralized generators to consumers. However, the influx of EVs introduces bidirectional power flow, as vehicles can act as both consumers and energy sources through vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology. This dynamic requires grid operators to adapt their infrastructu...
