Perhaps it is not easily appreciated, but right now the automotive and energetic sectors
are experiencing a complete transformation. In fact, this change started many years ago
with the arrival of the efficient vehicles, coming after the hybrid ones, and is happening
now with the arrival of the electric vehicles.
It is probably a matter of social awareness, with the aim of finding a sustainable model
that allows the development, but also being viable for us and for the environment. The
pollution and the end of reserves of fossil fuels are matters of today, and a solution
should be found with enough margin to be implemented, in order to keep moving
forward.
This project will be focused on the present available options to recharge an electric
vehicle, studying today's situation of the automotive market and the technologies that
can be applied into this field. It will also be studied how have the EVs developed in the
past years, and how are they expected to improve in the future.
It will be also carried out an analysis to find the best solutions to install a photovoltaic
installation at home, connected to a storage system with the goal of producing all the
electricity needed. The PV and the storage equipment will be compared, and then
applied into a domestic installation model to estimate how feasible is to become selfsufficient
in terms of energy.
