This was one of the most interesting and Insightful presentation in the VP conference 2023. Until now I was only looking at the changes in the mobility with a narrow focus. However, Power sector and the power infrastructure is also a part of the equation.
One short example : If EVs grow to say 30% of the total mobility from the current 1%. There would be substantial shift of power consumption and duration in which it is consumed (e.g. Night time). What this would do is to immensely put pressure on the distribution transformers which will impact the life of the transformers (some studies suggest that the life could drop to 3 years from the current 30 years ). This is because of the shift in consumption pattern at night which does not allow the transformers to cool down (source1, Source2)
The power ecosystem is very complex and it would be interesting if we could all collaborate to generate some actionable ideas as a follow up of this presentation.
