As IEA Projects a Sixfold Jump in EV Electricity Demand, a New Volume Maps the Grid Engineering Behind It
The IEA's Global EV Outlook 2026 puts a number on a problem grid engineers have been managing for years without one: electricity demand from electric vehicles could exceed 1,500 TWh by 2035, roughly six times 2025 levels, even as global EV sales climb to 23 million this year alone—28% of all car sales, up from 25% in 2025. In some markets the report flags, EV charging alone could add more than 10% to electricity demand within a decade. The report's own prescription—smart charging and vehicle-to-grid coordination—is exactly the engineering territory this new Springer volume works through in technical detail.
Renewable Energy Integration with Electric Vehicle Technology, edited by Surender Reddy Salkuti and Papia Ray, gathers 706 pages of contributed research spanning the full chain the IEA outlook gestures at but doesn't engineer: deep learning-based forecasting of wind and solar generation, optimization models for siting both renewable distributed generation and EV charging stations, and coordinated control strategies for DC microgrids carrying both loads at once.
Three applications stand out for practitioners. Utility planners can use the volume's forecasting chapters to size renewable generation against projected EV charging load rather than against historical demand curves alone. Charging network operators get siting optimization frameworks that account for both grid capacity and renewable generation proximity. And security teams responsible for increasingly networked charging infrastructure will find dedicated chapters on the cybersecurity and data-privacy protocols that IEA-style demand growth makes non-optional.
For academic and technical libraries, this is a reference title rather than a survey: it belongs alongside existing energy-transition and renewable-policy holdings as the engineering counterpart those collections often lack, and it's timely enough to be genuinely used by faculty and graduate researchers working on smart grid and electric mobility problems right now, not filed for later.

Q&A
What problem does this book actually solve for grid engineers?
It provides applied methods—forecasting, siting optimization, and control strategies—for integrating renewable generation and EV charging load on the same grid infrastructure.
Is this book research-only, or does it have applied engineering content?
Both: it combines academic research contributions with case-based, applied chapters intended for utility and charging-network engineers.
Does the book cover vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology?
Yes, coordination strategies for DC microgrids and vehicle-to-grid operations are addressed directly.
Who publishes this book and in what series?
It's published by Springer as Volume 1609 of the Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering series.
