7.3.1.2 PHEV features
The vehicle used in the model is the Nissan Leaf which has a battery capacity of
24 kWh and requires 0.15 kWh per kilometre driven, resulting in a driving range of
160 km on a fully charged battery. A 240 V and 13 A charger is considered whenever
vehicles are plugged, so a maximum charging rate per simulated time unit of 3.12 kW
is assumed.

the south of the city in which offices are mixed with some leisure areas; and the
north-east where leisure centres and shops are concentrated. A road network connects
the buildings in the city. Furthermore, the city has four substations that lay the foun-
dations of an 11 kV distribution grid. Two of these power nodes are located in the
