This master's thesis investigates the complex interdependencies between mobility and electricity sectors in the Dutch energy transition (2016-2050). Through comprehensive system dynamics modeling and scenario analysis, the research examines how Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) adoption patterns interact with renewable energy integration. The study develops three major scenario analyses: exploring various BEV adoption rates combined with energy sector transitions, investigating different renewable energy generation capacities (120-180 TWh), and evaluating the feasibility of the Netherlands' 2030 zero-emission vehicle sales mandate. The findings demonstrate that while renewable energy capacity can accommodate increased electric vehicle demand, successful transition requires careful cross-sectoral coordination. The research contributes to understanding critical infrastructure challenges and provides valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders involved in sustainable infrastructure development, particularly in the Dutch context.
