3.4.1 Charging Electric Vehicles from Renewables

Course subject(s) 3. Smart Charging and Integration of Electric Mobility

Electric cars can only be as sustainable as the generated electricity. If the electricity for the cars comes from fossil fuels, then there are still emissions. Therefore, it is also important to focus on where the electricity comes from. This lecture will discuss how electric vehicles can be charged from renewable energy. First, the concept of wheel-to-wheel emission is introduced. After this, the effect of charging with renewable energy is analysed.
