ABSTRACT
As the electrification of the transportation sector grows the electric grid must handle the new load
resulting from electric vehicles (EV) charging. The integration of this new load in the grid has been
subject to work in the smart-charging research field, however, while normal-sized EVs ofen ofer
chargers or other functions that support smart-charging, smaller EVs do not, which could be problem-
atic. Especially considering that the consumption of small EV when aggregated can be significant. This
