This paper applies models of electricity supply and demand under widespread BEV and photovoltaic (PV) adoption to conclude that overnight BEV charging can mitigate increases in evening peak electricity demand, workplace charging can reduce peak impacts and also better utilize PV generation, and BEV adoption needs to accelerate relative to PV installation to maximize co-benefits.
