The development of Smart Charging (SC) strategies for Electric Vehicles (EVs) is on the rise, driven by the potential benefits for both customers and grid operators. While several studies have explored the impact of these strategies on battery degradation, there is a lack of studies based on real-world data. To overcome the limited information provided by the current EV-EVSE (EV Supply Equipment) communication protocols, a methodology to reconstruct State of Charge (SoC) profiles based on the charging power is proposed and used to reconstruct the profiles and analyse the battery degradation for three residential EVSEs in Denmark, comparing degradation trends in under Uncontrolled Charging (UC) mode, with the SC ones. Results show that the economic profits from unidirectional (V1G) SC strategies based on price, offer significant cost savings (10-22% annually) and reduce calendar ageing by up to 4% over a decade. V2G strategies entail modest increases in cost savings at the cost of a minimal additional degradation.
