  The examination of the maximum number of electric vehicles (EVs) that can be
integrated into the distribution network (DN) without causing any operational
incidents has become increasingly crucial as EV penetration rises. This issue
can be addressed by utilizing dynamic operating envelopes (DOEs), which are
generated based on the grid status. While DOEs improve the hosting capacity of
the DN for EVs (EV-HC) by restricting the operational parameters of the
network, they also alter the amount of energy needed for charging each EV,
resulting in a decrease in the quality of service (QoS). This study proposes a
network-aware hosting capacity framework for EVs (EV-NAHC) that i) aims to
assess the effects of DOEs on active distribution networks, ii) introduces a
novel definition for HC and calculates the EV-NAHC based on the aggregated QoS
of all customers. A small-scale Belgian feeder is utilized to examine the
proposed framework. The results show a substantial increase in the EV-NAHC with
low, medium, and high-daily charging energy scenarios.
