    Abstract

    This case study analyses the potential additional electrical load on Reykjavík's electrical grid spatially and temporally (2019–2050) due to the integration of electric vehicles (EVs) according to different pro-EV policies. A cost estimate of the required upgrades is provided. The results of the research show that the electrical system could face strain with a potential peak load increase of 67–114% over the study period. Spatiotemporal analysis can thus aid policymakers and grid planners in understanding where and when the electrical system could be put at risk due to EV charging and plan accordingly.
