This development would bring forth an impact on the energy system, which strongly depends on the driving and charging behavior of the users. While an uncontrolled immediate charging might strain the local grid and/or higher peak loads, there are benefits to be gained by a controlled charging. We examine six European mobility studies in order to display the effects of controlled and uncontrolled unidirectional charging. Taking into account country-specific driving patterns, we generate for each country a charging load curve corresponding to uncontrolled charging and consider the corresponding parking time at charging facilities in order to identify load shift potentials. The main results are that besides the charging power of the vehicles, the possibility to charge at the work place has a significant influence on the uncontrolled charging curve. Neither national nor regional differences are as significant. When charging is only possible at home, the vehicle availability at charging facilities during the day for all countries is at least $24\%.$ With the additional possibility to charge at work, at least $45\%$ are constantly available. Accordingly, we identified a big potential for load shifting through controlled charging}, cin = {IEK-STE}, ddc = {620}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)IEK-STE-20101013}, pnm = {151 - Transformation of Energy Systems (POF2-151)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF2-151}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, UT = {WOS:000332436400037}, doi = {10.1016/j.jpowsour.2014.01.019}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/172269}, }
