Plug-in Vehicle Electricity Demand to Surge Over 1,000% in Five Years

Electricity demand associated with plug-in vehicles in Argentina is projected to grow over 1,000% during the next five years, according to circulated forecasts.

Annual consumption would reach 322.2 GWh by the end of that period, representing an elevenfold increase from current levels.

The projected evolution reflects advances in electric mobility and its potential impact on the national energy system. Plug-in vehicles include units requiring grid connection to recharge their batteries.

The projected increase raises the need to factor in demand associated with electric transport within power supply planning and charging infrastructure development.
