Impact of Weather Conditions on Electric Vehicle Charging Behavior in an Office Context in Hungary

This paper explores the impact of weather conditions -particularly ambient temperature -on electric vehicle (EV) charging behavior in an office environment in Hungary.Real-world data from AC chargers and local weather records were used to analyze how temperature affects energy consumption and charging patterns.The analysis focused on energy demand and session frequency across varying temperature ranges.Results indicate that colder conditions lead to increased energy consumption, while session frequency remains relatively stable.These findings highlight that the rise in energy demand is primarily driven by higher consumption per session rather than more frequent charging.The study offers insights that can support more accurate demand forecasting.
