Abstract

Electric mobility can reduce energy consumption and polluting emissions and is one of the key elements of the current energy transition. Electric vehicles take over is hampered by different problems, above all the scarce diffusion of adequate recharging infrastructures. The objective of this paper is to design a smart system for the shared charging of electric vehicles. Such system minimizes the necessity of additional infrastructure by valorizing the electricity not used by a residential building. The effectiveness of such a system has been demonstrated in two realistic scenarios with a building consisting of 3 apartments and an elevator, a photovoltaic system, and up to 4 electric vehicles.
