Electricity grids will not falter when millions of electric vehicles (EVs) will be plugged in during peak hours across France in the future, the leading electricity system operator has assured. France is still far behind compared to other European countries in adoption of electric vehicles.
Amid the ongoing shift from conventional internal combustion engines (ICEs) to EVs, many critics have warned that electricity grids will falter, causing widespread power outages, as the system will not be able to handle stress when millions of people will be charging their electric cars at the same time.
However, France’s electricity system operator Réseau de Transport d'Electricité (RTE) tried to tackle this claim and explain why EVs will not be an impending threat to conventional electricity systems like hydroelectric grids, even when a large number of EVs will be charged at the same time across the country.
The French electricity operator conducted a study to find how much burden its electricity system will have to bear due to EV charging in 2035, when almost all passenger vehicles will be fully electric. After analyzing the data, the operator reached the conclusion that EV charging, even during peak hours, will represent just 10 per cent of the country’s electricity consumption in 2035. It worth-mentioning here that France is planning to eliminate conventional petrol/diesel-powered vehicles from the public road by 2040. Utility companies in the UK are also considering adding charging network.
According to RTE, the estimated 10 per cent consumption of electricity by EVs by the mid of next decade will be very manageable. It will be less of an impact than the change in France’s energy consumption between 2000 and 2010. At present, the Western European country has 500,000 EVs on public road, but RTE claims that it will be able to accommodate up to 15 million EVs in 2035 without any big concern.
Among electric vehicle manufacturers, Tesla Motors has been setting up a wide and effective network of charging stations. Other automobile manufacturers have also planned to setup their own charging networks but many companies also provide options for people to have their home charger.
One of the proposed strategies to decrease the load on the power grids is the vehicle-to-grid (VTG) system, which will allow stationary EVs with surplus power to supply electricity back to the grids to be used by others. Thus, millions of vehicles will be able to replenish the grids in hours of need or an emergency, such as floods. In a similar way, the surplus energy stored in a bike or car’s battery could supply power to a home, or feed into the entire grid system when the demand is very high. RTE also pointed out that the electricity grid systems could accelerate charging during the off-peak hours of the day or when solar energy is in abundance.
Following Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' swift move to count Tesla vehicles as part of its vehicle fleet in the European Union, FCA CEO Mike Manley believes the company will not face any fines this year or in 2020.
Automotive News Europe reported Wednesday on Manley's comments during a conference call about FCA's second-quarter financial results.
The Tesla deal saw FCA pay an incredibly large sum of money to stay compliant with the most recent EU emissions regulations.
Manley also said the automaker will avoid future fines as it introduces more electrified models and new internal-combustion engines that are more fuel-efficient.
Specifically, he was referring to mild-hybrid versions of the Fiat 500 and Jeep Renegade on the horizon, along with PHEV variants of the Renegade, Wrangler and Compass.
Combined, Manley said the company expects the electrified vehicles to make up 5% of the automaker's sales mix in Europe.

Because this will permanently damage the starter battery.
The main task of the starter battery is to ensure that very large currents flow in a small amount of time (only a few seconds).This is a sufficient condition to start the internal combustion engine.
Therefore, the battery electrodes, the terminals as well as the cables connected to them are made of solid mass and thus provide more than 300A current to the starter of the car.However, inside the battery cells, a constructive solution to provide this current is to use thin and many plates that are connected in parallel.Operating a starter battery is designed to provide short starter cycles with a heavy load, and as a power source for an extended period of time puts the starter battery in an uncharacteristic load mode.Thus, a starter battery having 50% -70% of its capacity must allow small to medium currents to flow for a long period of time.
This can generate strong mechanical forces between the structurally thin plates.These deformations in many cases lead to the separation of the active material from the plates and their fall to the bottom of the cells.The loss of active material results in a loss of starter battery capacity.
It is therefore important that the batteries be used properly.
Batteries also have design differences due to their different load modes.According to their application, they are divided into starter batteries, stationary batteries, traction batteries, etc.The text above is only a summary.
