Abstract: Abstract The increased use of plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles will over time create a new area of demand for electricity, which will increase as the number of vehicles increases. The development of the electricity grid is in many ways a nexus for the whole process of global energy transformation, one that will have long-term implications and high levels of complexity. I will not go into this area in depth, but it is worth outlining some of its key features and the choices that are relevant to the reasoning in this book.
