The automotive market is aiming for full electrification over the next few years as a result of the need to cut greenhouse gas emissions that are destroying the environment, changing ecosystems and threatening the stability of many animal species.
For this reason, more and more manufacturers are changing their production lines to fully assemble only electric vehicles starting in 2035, 2040 or 2050. The years to reach this goal vary depending on the brand itself, but they are all aiming for a sustainable transition.
The United States is one of the most advanced countries in terms of electromobility. There are various charging points all over the country, and there are also chargers to replenish energy at home, as well as portable ones in case you are far from a service station.
Over the next few years, however, charging an electric car at night may no longer be economical, according to a study by Stanford University and published in the journal Nature. A high growth scenario (50%) of current demand will lead to a significant increase in recharge fees.
Future price increase
The conclusions are simple, the higher the demand, the higher the cost. According to the study, this is bound to happen, which is why, according to the study, they recommend charging more during the day, either at work or in public places, in order to gradually adapt to this coming reality.
“Each state (in the United States) may need to rethink its electricity pricing structure as their EV charging needs increase and their grid changes,” said Siobhan Powell, lead author of the study.
On the other hand, a specific part of the study analyzed the panorama in detail to determine that time plays a fundamental role in making new decisions (renewable energy sources) so that prices do not rise as much, but eventually it will. if we continue with the current rate.
“In a grid of the future with lots of renewable energy, time is of the essence, and net demand tells a very different story than total demand. Switching drivers from home to day charging improves all grid impact metrics, including ramp, non-fossil fuel usage, storage requirements and emissions. This information is robust at different levels of EV adoption,” the study concludes.
