Sustainable electric mobility analysis in the Savona Campus of the University of Genoa

Today, the concept of Smart Grid is very often strictly related to Electric Vehicles (EVs) infrastructures. EVs have not gas emissions, they have silent driving and much higher efficiency than internal combustion engine vehicles and, in particular, they are fundamental for the world's sustainable mobility. In fact, many industries and universities have decided to replace their corporate fleet with green vehicles. The aim of this work is to present the Smart Grid project at the Savona Campus of the Genoa University, with particular attention on the use of the EVs. The scope of this work is to evaluate the different habits of charging the vehicles and to study new scenarios to take advantage of the full potentiality of smart mobility.
