Projections for Electric Vehicle Load Profiles in Europe Based on Travel Survey Data

This report aims to build a database of load profiles for electric-drive vehicles (EDVs) based on the car-use profiles of current conventional vehicles. The report presents the load profiles resulting from an analysis of data collected by means of sample travel surveys, and obtained by associating assumptions on technical features of EDVs with behavioural elements. The document explains in detail the methodology used and the assumptions adopted to evaluate the driving profiles, and presents an alternative scenario to assess how load profiles might change under different parameters.
