Abstract: Electric vehicles shift passenger transport from oil to electricity, linking vehicle adoption to hourly power-market conditions. We develop and estimate a joint equilib rium model of German vehicle demand and electricity supply in which driver-specific charging decisions map travel profiles and electricity prices into EV operating costs and load. A 10% EV stock raises wholesale prices by 3.3%, creating sizable cost spillovers on non-EV electricity users, but reduces EV adoption by less than 1%. Time-varying tariffs lower charging costs and shift load to cheaper hours; in equilibrium, EV adop tion offsets much of the system-cost relief while redirecting generator profits toward renewables.
