Small description of the different files: <em>Car_trips.csv:</em> List of trips from different cars in Switzerland.<br> Data provided by Giacomo Pareschi and based on the result of the 2015 edition of MZMV (Bundesamt für Statistik / Bundesamt für Raumentwicklung, Verkehrsverhalten der Bevölkerung, Ergebnisse des Mikrozensus Mobilität und Verkehr 2015, Neuchâtel und Bern (2017), https://www.are.admin.ch/are/de/home/mobilitaet/grundlagen-und-daten/mzmv.html ). Each weekly profile is not representative and any result obtained with less than 50 profiles should be interpreted with extreme caution. <em>ch.bfe.ladestellen-elektromobilitaet.json:</em> Data on the charging stations in Switzerland.<br> Online data from the Swiss Federal Office of Energy. <em>cs_power_Home.csv</em> and<em> cs_power_Work.csv: </em>Own data on the charging powers of charging stations located at home or at work. <em>energy_system_model_empa_results_sc_1.csv: </em>Swiss Energy System model used in our work to generate the fixed hydropower output profile.<br> Data provided by Dr. Martin Rüdisüli. <em>EVs_cap.csv:</em> Data on different EV brands, from own research. <em>gCO2_eq_kWh_techs.csv: </em>CO2-equivalent greenhouse gas emission factors for different technologies, from own research. <em>Heat_BEV_demand_2018.csv:</em> Electricity demand for heating and EVs in Switzerland.<br> Data provided by Dr. Martin Rüdisüli. <em>inflows_Beer.csv: </em>Data on the water inflows in the Swiss dams over the year.<br> Data provided by Michael Beer, from Beer, M. Abschätzung des Potenzials der Schweizer Speicherseen zur Lastdeckung bei Importrestriktionen. Z.
