“…However, the strict European targets set for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, the required improvement of system's security and reliability, and the increasing share of intermittent renewable energy sources are calling for important changes in our energy systems. Beyond uncontested environmental benefits, in fact, the rollout of electric vehicles poses challenges to power systems, starting from the additional power demand for recharging their batteries, possibly overlapping with the system peak demand [3,4]. Power system operators, therefore, have to face a twofold challenge: managing the adequacy of the grid capacity and integrating electric vehicles into the power system, in a context of increasingly volatile supply due to a growing share of renewable energy sources.…”
