Southern California Edison (SCE) released a white paper summarizing learnings from its Electric Vehicle (EV) readiness program. Because California leads the nation in EV adoption, other utilities and stakeholders in the auto industry may find the information from the white paper useful, SCE suggested.

Grid congestion is imminent If we look at the big picture, EV charging only accounts for about 4% of total demand for electricity; not something for utilities to be alarmed about. With over 123,000 public and semi-public charging stations in the Netherlands, the grid is already experiencing severe congestion.

There are 116,000 public charging ports in the country, according to the Energy Department — mostly lower-speed “Level 2” chargers that are heavily concentrated in California.

You’re operating close in neighborhoods, so the quiet is a huge advantage, and you have room to have a pretty good-sized electric actuator on a garbage truck because it’s a bigger vehicle.

A lot of people don’t understand how that can be, but if you think about the topology of a charger, there’s the power electronics that are connected to the grid—that’s where the cabinet is—then there’s a cable going from there to where the vehicle is, and then there’s vehicle coupling. We’re somewhere in the 90 to 92% range.

Also, besides giving you the ability to charge at night when most utility rates are lower, future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology may allow you to sell some of your stored energy back to the utilities. The demands on the grid would require a lot of infrastructure work without some sort of "energy reservoir" in place.
