Accelerating Toward a Sustainable Future:
A coordinated approach aligning policy, regulation, investment, and localization can transform pilot programs into a smart, national charging
This strategy should include accelerated development of charging infrastructure, enhancement of local manufacturing capabilities, adaptation of the country's economic structure, accommodation of social dynamics, and the implementation of dynamic, supportive policies and incentives by the Saudi government .
The rising popularity of EVs and their impact on electrical grids underline the necessity to expand and improve existing charging infrastructures to facilitate the swift societal shift towards electric vehicles . Saudi Arabia is endowed with a diverse array of renewable energy sources (RESs), including solar and wind power.
The emission analysis for different hybrid electric vehicle charging systems in the four major cities (4MCs) of Saudi Arabia is detailed in Fig. 11. The analysis indicates significant variations in CO 2 emissions depending on the system configurations employed: Fig. 11. CO 2 emission of different hybrid charging combinations in the 4MCs.
The proposed hybrid energy system addresses the charge demand of an EVCS in four major cities in Saudi Arabia. It has been assumed that EVCS has been set up in these four sites (i.e. Riyadh, Jeddah, Makah, and Medina). At various time intervals, about 30–40 electric vehicles (EVs) are expected to undergo charging at the EVCSs.
