Title: Impact of EV Adoption Rate on Residential Secondary Systems

Summary: The presentation will discuss the results of a utility study to evaluate the impacts of electric vehicle (EV) adoption rate on residential secondary systems. The residential secondary system spans the zone from a 50kVA pad-mounted transformer to individual house meters via underground cables – also known as Levels 0, 1 and 2. The study compares the results in three different subdivisions and housings..
