The first phase of Latvian national EV fast-charging network was launched in 2018 with 70 charging stations on the TEN-T roads and in the largest towns and cities. The article looks at the initial results, both looking at the total capacity utilization for individual charging stations, determining the hourly charging distribution; and to the utilization of the network as a whole. The results present that there is a very large dispersion of the data, most of the charging events happening in a few charging stations in and around the capital of Latvia. However, there have been charging events in all charging stations, even in the most remote ones. Even more skewed distribution was observed analyzing the charging habits of the EV users, with 10 % of users accounting for more than half of the charging events. This should be taken into account when considering applying the results for the future, expecting larger number of electric vehicles in Latvia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2478\/rtuect-2019-0051","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,19]],"date-time":"2019-11-19T04:30:55Z","timestamp":1574137855000},"page":"9-21","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Latvian Electric Vehicle Fast Charging Infrastructure: Results of the First Year of Operation"],"prefix":"10.2478","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Aivars","family":"Rubenis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ivory Group, Skolas iela 15-7, Ikskile , LV-5001 , Latvia"},{"name":"Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies , Liela 1, Jelgava , LV-3001 , Latvia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aigars","family":"Laizans","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies , Liela 1, Jelgava , LV-3001 , Latvia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andra","family":"Zvirbule","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies , Liela 1, Jelgava , LV-3001 , Latvia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026042916274166638_j_rtuect-2019-0051_ref_001_w2aab3b7b2b1b6b1ab1ab1Aa","unstructured":"[1] Ministry of Transport of Republic of Latvia.
