While this enab les ultra-fast charging and high fleet utilization\, it also introduces se rious challenges to today’s distribution grids\, including congestion\, high peak demand charges\, voltage fluctuations\, and emerging power quali ty issues. Addressing these challenges requires rethinking both the design of charging technology and the architecture of the surrounding energy sys tem.\n\nThis webinar provides a comprehensive overview of the latest devel opments in high-power EV charging\, covering wide-voltage-range converter technologies\, modular and reconfigurable topologies\, and hybrid modulati on strategies. A central focus is placed on integrating battery energy sto rage and solid-state transformers (SSTs) to enable cost-effective medium-v oltage grid connection\, reduce grid stress\, and enhance charging-hub fle xibility. Drawing from recent research and real-world pilot projects\, the talk will present both technical insights and techno-economic considerati ons that are shaping the next generation of charging infrastructure.\n\nSp eaker(s): Dr. Zian Qin\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/521268 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/521268 ORGANIZER:Ying.LI2@nottingham.ac.uk SEQUENCE:60 SUMMARY:Nottingham IEEE PELS SBC Webinar | The Evolution of EV Charging and Its Impact on the Grid URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/521268 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><span lang="DA" style="font-size: 10.0pt\; line-height: 115%\; font-family: 'Arial'\,sans-serif\; mso-fareast-font-f amily: DengXian\; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast\; color: black\; m so-font-kerning: 0pt\; mso-ligatures: none\; mso-ansi-language: DA\; mso-f areast-language: ZH-CN\; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA\;"><span lang="EN-US" st yle="font-size: 10.0pt\; line-height: 115%\; font-family: 'Arial'\,sans-se rif\; mso-fareast-font-family: DengXian\; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fa reast\; color: black\; mso-font-kerning: 0pt\; mso-ligatures: none\; mso-a nsi-language: EN-US\; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN\; mso-bidi-language: AR- SA\;">Title:</span></span></p>\n<p><span lang="DA" style="font-size: 10.0p t\; line-height: 115%\; font-family: 'Arial'\,sans-serif\; mso-fareast-fon t-family: DengXian\; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast\; color: black\ ; mso-font-kerning: 0pt\; mso-ligatures: none\; mso-ansi-language: DA\; ms o-fareast-language: ZH-CN\; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA\;">The Evolution of E V Charging and Its Impact on the Grid</span></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal" sty le="margin-bottom: 8.0pt\; text-align: justify\; text-justify: inter-ideog raph\; mso-hyphenate: none\; mso-layout-grid-align: none\; text-autospace: none\;"><span lang="DA" style="font-size: 10.0pt\; line-height: 115%\; fo nt-family: 'Arial'\,sans-serif\; color: black\;">Abstract: </span></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify\; text-justify: inter-ideogr aph\;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10.0pt\; line-height: 115%\; f ont-family: 'Arial'\,sans-serif\; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\;">The rapid ad option of electric mobility&mdash\;particularly for heavy-duty trucks\, bu ses\, and maritime transport&mdash\;is pushing charging power from hundred s of kilowatts to the megawatt range.
