Electric Vehicles Trips and Charging Simulator Considering the User Behaviour in a Smart City

Giving current environmental concerns, priority is being given to invest in renewable forms of energy generation. In this regard, modifying one of the largest forms of pollution, transportation, is moving towards the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), However, it is necessary to understand in what extent a massive adoption of EVs will cause disturbances on electrical grids, the operation of the grid and in the end-users behaviour. This work adopts a tool to simulate EVs trips and charging schedules considering user behaviour aspects. The simulator enables the study of price variations on user behavior showing that dynamic tariffs may prove to be compensatory compared to fixed tariff for users.
