Existing charging points

Analysis of existing charging points

There are approximately 170

charging points in Barcelona:

• Public space (on-street)

• Public underground parking

• Private parkings

• Commercial malls

• Hotels

• Service areas

New charging points added to the network

• The growsmarter project adds 5

fast charging points to the

network.

• Previously to the implementation of

these points there were 10 fast

charging points installed on-street

• The aim of the evaluation is to

determine if there is an increase in

the use of fast chargers and also to

test the usage of V2G points.

Baseline indicators

Baseline indicators will be needed in order to have a reference to compare with

the data gathered during the project

• Number of EV users before the Growsmarter project started. This can be

known through the registration of EV’s at the municipality of Barcelona

• Number of existing charging points in the city, differentiating normal and

fast charging stations

• Number of charging events and energy charged before the Growsmarter

project

Evaluation of the increase of energy use

We will assume that all EV’s owners would have done the same trips with

fossil-fueled vehicles, so that this change has a direct impact on the

reduction of CO2 emissions






Evaluation of the increase of energy use

In Growsmarter, we will evaluate if there is a real

increase in the use of the fast charging mode

Two types of indicators:

• Use of the charging points and EV users:

Number of EV users, number of charging points, charging events, daily average

charge and discharge (kWh per session), total charging time per day, daily

electricity charged. We will compare these indicators to the ones obtained from

the existing fast charging points.

• Reduction of CO2 at a city level:

Total estimated reduction of emissions.

To calculate the reduction of emissions, we will monitor the use of the

growsmarter charging points plus all existing fast charging points, to see if

there is a real increase in the use and therefore a decrease in the CO2 emissions.

This number will not be exact since we do not know if this increase is due to an

increase in use of EV’s or just a shift in the way of charging the vehicle.
