The study analyzes the consumption profiles and overall charging demand in the Czech Republic for all types of road vehicles, describes the development status of “smart charging,” and displays the potential for flexibility associated with charging by 2040 for various vehicles and charging scenarios, including estimates of its availability throughout the day and week. It also focuses on the financial value of flexibility in electromobility and potential savings for vehicle operators.
⚪︎ The estimate of realistically usable flexibility from charging battery electric vehicles in the Czech Republic by 2040 includes 1.3-2.3 million light EVs, 28-59 thousand heavy EVs, and 10-13 thousand buses.
⚪︎ The expected aggregated capacity of EV batteries in 2040 is between 5-17 GW and 50-150 GWh.
⚪︎ Flexibility will be influenced by the time of day and whether it is a working day, with most capacity during working hours coming from light EVs.
⚪︎ Bidirectional charging could significantly increase the flexibility potential, with estimates exceeding tens of TWh per year.
⚪︎ The financial value of the flexibility market from EVs in the bidirectional charging mode could exceed 1 billion CZK in the Czech Republic by 2040.
