Abstract [en]

As the electric vehicle market is growing, so does the effects of electric vehicles on the grid. This growth is an incentive to improve and expand the charging infrastructure. To make the infrastructure better, one first needs to analyze key elements associated with the infrastructure. This thesis, therefore, aims to illuminate trends in user behaviors of charging points and the grid load that these behaviors result in. This thesis aims to be the first step towards improving and expanding the charging point infrastructure. To accomplish this, the thesis determined the power demand of charging points and common charging behaviors by analyzing a dataset consisting of charging sessions from a seven-year period. The analysis resulted in findings that show that users tend to do most of their charging during midday, during regular office hours, and that postponing weekday plug-in events after 17:00 could reduce plug-in activity during peak energy consumption in Sweden by 24 %. The thesis concludes that the market is growing; therefore, improvements to the infrastructure have to be made. These include improved load-balancing and improved quality of service for customers, such as expansions to the fast-charging infrastructure.
