PNNL study finds 2028 grid resource adequacy likely sufficient for high EV penetration; managed charging strategies can double adequacy

Green Car Congress

A new study of the impact of high EV adoption on the Western US power grid by a team from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) has found that 2028 grid resource adequacy—from generation through transmission—is likely to be sufficient for high EV penetration. million for the WECC.

In-Home Solar: How Many Panels to Fully Charge Your EV?

Setec Powerr

For example, a 300-watt solar panel under ideal conditions can generate 300 watts of power per hour, but in reality, due to various factors such as weather conditions and installation angles, its actual output may be less. This data can be obtained by consulting local solar resource maps or by contacting solar installation companies.

Pike Research says lack of technical standards could hinder utilities’ readiness for EVs; forecasts $5.1B in spending from 2010-2015 on EV IT systems

Green Car Congress

While plug-in electric vehicles will not threaten the integrity of the power grid as a whole, they will have an immediate local impact on neighborhood distribution infrastructure. With a comprehensive EV management system that can respond to grid signals, EV charging is not expected to require the addition of any generation resources.
