A review of the current literature on EVs, the electric grid, and renewable energy integration is presented in this paper, where the economic, environmental and grid impacts of EVs are reviewed.
Abstract
Electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy sources offer the potential to substantially decrease carbon emissions from both the transportation and power generation sectors of the economy. Mass adoption of EVs will have a number of impacts and benefits, including the ability to assist in the integration of renewable energy into existing electric grids. This paper reviews the current literature on EVs, the electric grid, and renewable energy integration. Key methods and assumptions of the literature are discussed. The economic, environmental and grid impacts of EVs are reviewed. Numerous studies assessing the ability of EVs to integrate renewable energy sources are assessed; the literature indicates that EVs can significantly reduce the amount of excess renewable energy produced in an electric system. Studies on wind–EV interaction are much more detailed than those on solar photovoltaics (PV) and EVs. The paper concludes with recommendations for future research.

Is the environment‐friendly factor attractive to customers when purchasing electric vehicles? Evidence from South Korea

TL;DR: Choi et al. as mentioned in this paper conducted a choice-based conjoint survey of 1,008 consumers in South Korea and estimated the consumer utility function using a mixed logit model considering consumer heterogeneity, and analyzed consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) for EV attributes such as driving range, charging method, charging time, autonomous driving function, carbon dioxide reduction rate, and purchase price.

Energy and greenhouse gas emission reduction potentials resulting from different commuter electric bicycle adoption scenarios in Switzerland

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a model to compute energy savings due to a (hypothetical) widespread deployment of electric bicycles, and analyzed the dependence of the commuting energy demand on users' preferences about when to take the bike, such as an aversion to biking on cold and rainy days.
