In this paper the impacts of a large deployment of electric vehicles (EVs) on selected distribution grids of the Hellenic Distribution Network are assessed. Mainly technical restrictions are taken into account, such as voltage limits, branches' congestion levels or losses' evaluation. EVs are considered as simple loads that charge from the grid. The analysis takes into account driving profiles of EV owners, type of vehicle (battery capacity, energy consumption), travelling distance, road conditions etc and approximates the hourly allocation of the energy requirements under various EV charging strategies. A steady state analysis toolbox is used to estimate the critical number of EVs that can be integrated in a distribution line.
