Abstract:

This paper describes selected results of the scientific accompanying research of the e-mobility model region "e-pendler in nieder¨osterreich" which is a co-financed model region of the Climate and Energy Fund in Austria and the province of Lower Austria. The purpose of the project is to evaluate the usability of electric vehicles for commuters in Austria. For this, a group of thirty-seven participants were analyzed. With the derived charging profiles and traffic analysis important statements for future problems are possible. The research is divided into three parts. First of all, the commuters' behavior is considered. As second part specific charging profiles are analyzed and the effect of the charging power on the switching point (change from constant current phase to constant voltage phase) is shown. At last the impact of the EV's on the distribution grid is investigated.
