Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Electric mobility has established itself as one of the main strategies to reduce emissions from the transportation sector and promote the energy transition. However, its impact goes beyond the technological replacement of internal combustion vehicles, since its true contribution to decarbonization depends on clean and sustainable electricity generation, as well as transmission and distribution systems capable of responding to new power and energy demands.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The massive incorporation of electric vehicles requires that the electricity used for charging them comes, as far as possible, from renewable generation sources, thus guaranteeing that electric mobility is effectively a low-emission solution. Likewise, the transmission infrastructure must be adequately sized and adapted to transport this energy from the generation centers to the distribution networks, where residential charging points and charging stations are connected.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The growing installation of charging stations and the simultaneous connection of electric vehicles in homes generate new demands on distribution networks, which can compromise the stability, quality of service, and reliability of the electrical system if not managed properly. In this context, it is essential to comprehensively analyze the technical implications of the phenomenon, considering the complete chain of the electrical system: generation, transmission, and distribution.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This course seeks to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of these impacts, combining theoretical foundations with the analysis of a practical case carried out in Honduras by the National Autonomous University of Honduras (UNAH), which allows illustrating the current and future challenges facing electrical systems given the deployment of electric mobility.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>2.
