Electric Vehicle Charging Logistics in Spain: An In-Depth Analysis

Abstract

Spain’s National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC) addresses the policies and measures needed to contribute to the European target of a 23% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. To this end, the decarbonization of the transport sector is very important in order to increase electric mobility. Electric mobility depends on the conditions of the electrical infrastructure. This research focuses on the electrical distribution network in terms of its current capacity for recharging electric vehicles, which are estimated to account for 20.7% of vehicles, which is about 4 million vehicles. This, therefore, illustrates the need to legislate to improve the electrical infrastructure for recharging electric vehicles, with the aim of deploying electric vehicles on a larger scale and, ultimately, allowing society to benefit from the advantages of this technology.
