Assessing Electric Vehicle Charging Patterns: A Comprehensive Analysis of Charging Stations Usage

To make Europe “climate neutral” by 2050, global greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced by 55 percent as early as 2030, beginning the squeeze in just four years. In the transition phase, there are also incentives for automakers who will include environmentally friendly vehicles in their ranges and sell them. To be ready, it is important to assess the current situation of the charging infrastructure. The purpose of this paper is to study the use of Charging Stations (CSs) considering the city with a greater presence of both charging infrastructure and Electric Vehicles (EVs) in Italy. By analyzing the use during the day of CSs, it is possible to make specific analyses useful for large-scale deployment, making the system more widespread and efficient.
