e-mobility 1.0 - Challenges of the large-scale introduction of battery-powered electric vehicles in Austria under special consideration of the consequences for the electricity system, charging system and reduction of emissions

In an integrated assessment the overall technical, economic and ecological challenges of a large-scale introduction of e-mobility in Austria are modelled and assessed, combining and expanding existing models for the time-dependent electricity demand and for the electricity system response. Technical, economic and organisational aspects of battery charging infrastructure as well as related pricing and accounting systems are examined. Perspectives and recommendations related to necessary framework conditions and required developments for an optimal integration of large-scale introduction of e-mobility into the Austrian electrical power system are developed in interaction with relevant stakeholders from the electricity and automotive industry sector.
