Basic study on decarbonizing charging of electric vehicle and “Place of Use”

Abstract

Installation of electric vehicles (EVs) is focused on to decarbonize transportation and to supply power flexibility for solar and wind power. However, the way to decarbonize the EV charging is not obvious. Hence, this paper analyzes the decarbonized EV charging on the viewpoints of EV users, of electricity retailers and of electric power system, and highlights the challenges. This paper proposes combined menus of EV charging services with home “green” electric bills as the solution of decarbonizing EV charging. The combined menus will be considered as an example of the concept “Place of Use”; services for the movable electric demand.
