Analysis of the penetration and impacts of hybrid and electric vehicles in the electrical system of Uruguay

In this paper, a study of the evolution and the characterization of the Uruguayan vehicle fleet is presented. Then various scenarios are built, considering different levels of penetration of hybrid and electric cars in the Uruguayan vehicle fleet in the medium and long term. Using a demand model of the vehicle fleet, the electrical energy demand introduced by this new actor is obtained in each of the scenarios. Finally, a study of the impact of the incorporation of electric vehicles in the Uruguayan electrical sector is performed.
