Abstract

The energy and environmental problems we are

facing today, characterized by a strong dependence on fossil

fuels which produce many greenhouse gases, makes us look for

new solutions to solve these two problems. The electrical cars

will contribute to solve these problems, but on making their

loading on electrical systems, situations may appear in which

electrical grids won’t be able to feed these new loads.

The main goal of this article is to identify the impact that

electrical cars will create in the existing electrical grids and the

changes that are needed in legislation to address them.
