STUDY OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THE ENERGY SYSTEM OF UKRAINE IN PROVIDING SERVICE TO THE FLEET OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES

Abstract

With the increase in the number of cars in Ukraine, the amount of exhaust gases in the environment increases. In the EU, the development of the Euro 7 standard continues. From 2035, it is proposed to limit CO2 emissions to zero, which makes it impossible to produce new cars with internal combustion engines. Electric cars can be an alternative. However, the replacement of the entire fleet of cars in Ukraine, running on internal combustion engines, with electric cars will cause an increase in electricity consumption and a possible shortage of it. In this work, the amount of electricity that must be produced in the case of replacing all internal combustion engine cars with electric cars is determined. The possibilities of the energy system of Ukraine were studied and its ability to service the fleet of electric vehicles was assessed. In this case, the automotive industry will take third place in terms of electricity consumption, as the annual amount of electricity production will increase by more than 18% compared to the amount of electricity for 2021. The development of electric transport should take place in parallel with the development of energy. The number of charging stations should meet the needs of drivers both in cities and outside populated areas. Expanding the network of charging infrastructure is an important task for the further development of the field of electric vehicles. In order to avoid the shortage of electrical energy and the necessary ecological effect, it is necessary to increase the production of "green" energy, so as not to increase the production of electricity by thermal power plants. The necessary number of power plants operating for improved ecological status on renewable energy sources for the needs of electric vehicles is given. The construction of affordable, fast charging stations and the use of renewable energy sources is an important task for the development of electric vehicles.
