It is expected that there will be three million electric vehicles in the whole of Europe by 2020. To reduce CO 2 emissions, it is essential that this vehicle fleet will use green power. It is also important to prevent power grid overloads as a result of peaks in demand if all the cars would be charged at the same time.

The government also is maintaining its target of cutting GHG emissions by 40% by 2020 (compared with 1990 levels) and by 80% by 2050. To guarantee their supply commitments, they must secure their capacity with flexible power plants or with storage. However, the financial cost of the shift is causing concern.
