An expected jump in sales of electric vehicles in the U.K. could hike peak demand for electricity by as much as 8 gigawatts, or 16%, by 2030, says the National Grid.
The increase could be cut to 3.5 gigawatts by shifting EV charging to off-peak periods, according to the high-voltage power distribution network. Without such coordination, EVs could boost peaks by as much as 18 gigawatts by 2050. A large power station produces roughly 2 gigawatts of power.
The analysis notes that electric power demand could be driven even higher by an eventual shift away from carbon-based fuels used by the heating sector.
