Abstract :
Charging infrastructure for electric vehicles can impact significantly on distribution systems. Normal charging will be the usual way while fast charging has to be considered as a complement to this. Both charging processes represent a new load for distribution networks. The effect of both normal and fast charging are assesses. Management strategies are proposed for reducing the impact and the results are presented.
