Comparative analysis of electric vehicle charging infrastructure in Spanish multi-unit residential buildings

The growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) necessitates the development of efficient and cost-effective charging infrastructure, particularly in multi-unit residential buildings. This study presents a techno-economic analysis of different EV charging installation schemes in Spain, focusing on t...
