Dear visitor,

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

1.3.1 Lecture 3: Policy Options in Shaping the Future Part I

Course subject(s) Module 1. Policy Ambitions

So far we have looked at the rationale behind switching to electric vehicles driving on renewable energy. But what has to happen to make this a reality? In this series of three lectures prof. Margot Weijnen will explain the physical, social and institutional dimensions that have to be built to make this future come true. In this lecture we will start with the physical dimension.

Learning goals for this lecture are:

      1. Learn which three dimensions are important in building a new system
      2. Get an idea of the physical components that are needed for an EV future
      3. Understand the concept of residual load
      4. List the solutions to deal with the residual load problem
      5. Describe the (dis-)advantages of each of these solutions
