Electric mobility is however expected to impact the electricity grid, thereby requiring the grid to be reinforced. Costs for network reinforcements are social costs and it is in society’s benefit to limit those costs. Municipalities have no real incentive to limit grid impact in their charging infrastructure deployment strategies. Network operators have the incentives, but have limited means to minimise the impact. System analysis, network impact analysis and institutional analysis are done to come to technical and institutional options to limit the grid impact of electric mobility and deal with the skewed incentive structure. It is concluded that network operators should create a grid impact guideline for charging station deployment which indicates the grid capacity to deal with high power charging stations. This guideline can be used to create a municipal strategic charging station deployment map.
