The rapid electrification of the vehicle fleet presents new challenges for the power grid – but also new opportunities. By mapping where EV owners live, how they drive, and who can benefit from V2X technology, this project generates insights to support a more flexible and data-driven energy system.
The project aims to explore the potential of so-called V2X services – where electric vehicles can support the power grid by storing and supplying energy. By analyzing the share of households with EVs, combined with driving patterns and vehicle specifications, we can identify who stands to benefit from the technology.
Using microdata from Statistics Sweden (SCB) and open datasets on driving behavior, the project analyzes the geographic and demographic profiles of EV owners. Machine learning is used to generate owner and daily availability profiles. The results are visualized on an interactive map and used to estimate when and where EVs can support the grid – and how increased EV adoption may impact grid load.
The project is expected to provide decision-makers, industry, and researchers with a detailed knowledge base on the market potential for V2X in Sweden. The results can inform the design of effective policy instruments, support grid planning, and foster innovation in charging infrastructure. In the long term, this contributes to a more sustainable and resilient energy system.
