“…The value of EV in terms of power system operation cost, levelized and marginal cost of electricity generation, power plant dispatch, and environmental emissions could substantially be affected by the EV charging strategy employed ( Borlaug et al., 2020 ). The effect of EV on some of the above parameters has been examined for different countries ( Bellocchi et al., 2019b , 2019a ; Booysen et al., 2022 ; Broadbent et al., 2022 ; Dioha et al., 2022a , 2022b ; Dumlao and Ishihara, 2022 ; Greaker et al., 2022 ; Hill et al., 2019 ; Jenn and Highleyman, 2022 ; Kejun et al., 2021 ; Mangipinto et al., 2022 ; Tarroja and Hittinger, 2021 ; Zhang et al., 2022 ). Although there are numerous other studies on the value of EVs, this paper focuses on the relative value of EVs based on the plausible circumstances of different regions in an idealized context.…”
