Fast charging is perceived by users as a preferred method for extending the average daily mobility ofelectric vehicles (EV). The rated power of fast chargers, their expected operation during peak hours, andclustering in designated stations, raise significant concerns. On one hand it raises concerns about standardrequirements for power quality, especially harmonic distortion due to the use of power electronics con-necting to high loads, typically ranging from 18 to 24 kW h. On the other hand, infrastructure dimension-ing and design limitations for those investing in such facilities need to be considered. Four sets of measure-ments were performed during the complete charging cycle of an EV, and individual harmonic’s amplitudeand phase angles behaviour were analysed. In addition, the voltage and current total harmonic distortion(THD) and Total Demand Distortion (TDD) were calculated and the results compared with the IEEE519,IEC 61000/EN50160 standards. Additionally, two vehicles being fast charged while connected to the samefeeder were simulated and an analysis was carried out on how the harmonic phase angles would relate.The study concluded that the use of TDD was a better indicator than THD, since the former uses the max-imum current (IL) and the latter uses the fundamental current, sometimes misleading conclusions, henceit is suggested it should be included in IEC/EN standard updates. Voltage THD and TDD for the chargeranalysed, were within the standard’s limits of 1.2% and 12% respectively, however individual harmonics(11th and 13th) failed to comply with the 5.5% limit in IEEE 519 (5% and 3% respectively in IEC61000).Phase angles tended to have preferential range differences from the fundamental wave. It was found thatthe average difference between the same harmonic order phase angles was lower than 90◦, meaning thatwhen more than one vehicle is connected to the same feeder the amplitudes will add. Since the limitsare dependable on the upstream short circuit current (ISC), if the number of vehicles increases (i.e. IL), thestandard limits will decrease and eventually be exceeded. The harmonic limitation is hence the primarybinding condition, certainly before the power limitation. The initial limit to the number of chargers is notthe power capacity of the upstream power circuit but the harmonic limits for electricity pollution.
