550,000 EVs sold in 2015 (+ 70%); about 750,000 in 2016
China became the first EV market in 2015 nd consolidated its lead in in 2016, when it accounted for roughly half of the global EV sales
EU second global market (210,000 in 2016), US third (160,000)
7 countries > 1% market share in 2015; 6 countries in 2016
Norway – 29% in 2016, Netherlands – 6%, Sweden, France, China, UK

RD&D Battery costs and energy density
Very encouraging signs from recent developments
Battery costs (PHEV): -73% in the past 7 years
Further improvements needed
Ambitious announcements in the near future: -58% to go in the next 7 years

EVs are unlikely to happen without policy support and technological development
Various policy mechanisms are now behind the “market pull” Vehicle purchase incentives and EVSE identified as major prerequisites
for high EV market shares, additional measures add to the EV value propositions
Policy support remains necessary in the short term to boost EV

EV deployment scenarios
Impacts on the load profile
Some impact on demand peak expected Likely to be manageable with price signals and other DSM measures DSM: questions on how to ensure response from EV owners exist
Little economic incentives Need for aggregators for sizeable impacts
About 10-15% of the car stock

EV deployment scenarios
Impacts on the grid
Local impacts are the earliest to come Charging behaviour matters Slow charging One charger adds the equivalent of one apartment in terms of capacity Potential for flexibility through variable charging Synergies with the integration of variable renewables
Fast charging: Potentially disruptive locally for distribution grids: one charger accounts like an
apartment building in terms of capacity Does not offer flexibility: you fast charge because you need charging quick and
now Not likely to take place in the evening demand peak (plug when you get home)
Opportunities mainly for DSM (delayed charging) Some scope for bidirectional charging/energy storage may exist
© OECD/IEA 2016
EV deployment scenarios
EVs and high renewable shares
What could happen with high renewables? Greater variability of supply
Need for greater variability of demand Growing importance of DSM, including EVs
Stronger need for opting in of EV owners in DSM schemes
Increasing space for bidirectional charging/energy storage
