Electric vehicles in reducing burden on fossil-fueled generation by renewable energy transition in commercial buildings in India

Commercial buildings account for a major contribution to carbon emissions. The combination of Electric Vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy offers many advantages in reducing carbon emissions and improving energy resource allocation for power generation. There are ambitious targets laid out by local governments in India to ensure there is high penetration of EVs. The goals in increasing the renewable energy penetration up to 500GW by year 2030 is not just a dream but a realized fact as many major private sector companies have a wide scale deployment of level 2 and fast chargers. Traditionally commercial buildings rely on utility power to meet their energy needs. However, this paper aims to derive benefits from EVs for commercial buildings by decarbonizing the market with renewable energy resources allocation for the major buildings in metropolitan cities. EVs are emergent in India's transition towards renewable energy both solar and wind power, particularly in commercial buildings. In the commercial sector, for reducing the burden on fossil-fueled electricity generation, the synergy between EVs and renewable energy plays a crucial role.
