摘要
In 2011, at the beginning of the current electric vehicle (EV) market in the United States, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) published a report [1] detailing certain aspects of the emergence of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs), including the deployment of charging infrastructure, future impacts on the grid, and potential roles for electric utilities in supporting transportation electrification. Characteristics of this early market included a presumed reliance on home recharging and relatively low charging rates for the first two production vehicles (Chevrolet Volt and Nissan LEAF). The automotive industry had standardized around a common connector for charging from ac electricity at power levels up to 19.2 kW. A similar consensus had not been reached for dc fast charging (DCFC), but early deployment of a few 50-kW stations based on the CHAdeMO standard began, enabling a modest level of intercity travel for EVs with a practical range of about 80 mi. © 2017 IEEE.
