Abstract:

Electric vehicles, as the core of transportation electrification, play an active role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving energy efficiency. The significant growth in electric vehicle ownership and market share has impacted charging infrastructure, highlighting issues such as inadequate charging facilities and fluctuations in grid load. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the fundamental concepts, calculation methods, and assessment metrics related to transportation network capacity and power network capacity. It analyses the evaluation methods for the integration of transportation and energy networks and the resilience of their convergence. The paper explores potential challenges and strategies for transportation-power integration systems. It identifies urgent research gaps and outlines future research directions, aiming to optimize the efficiency of charging infrastructure, alleviate traffic congestion, and ensure the stable operation of the power grid.

Key words: electric vehicles, transportation networks, power grids, network capacity, traffic electrification, grid operation
