Interactions between electric mobility and photovoltaic generation: A review

Here we develop a systematic framework to review the various underlying conditions for synergy as they have been studied in the literature. It emerges that this synergy is driven by technical as well as economic factors. First, it happens in the mid-scale spatial configuration (large workplace buildings and charging stations) and less obviously at other scales (eg. households, territories) and in technologically diversified systems. Second, although under-studied in the literature, the economic context (level of cooperation between stakeholders, regulation and policy, etc.) of interactions between PV and EV is crucial for successful synergy. Finally, we identify several remaining issues with these conditions that warrant further research.
