In this study, the effect of the electric vehicle high-power fast chargers in the residential sector on the aging of distribution transformers is probabilistically quantified. This work takes into consideration the presence of the traditional rooftop solar photovoltaic panels and the most recent technology namely rooftop solar shingles used in residential prosumers (power producers and consumers). Moreover, the effectiveness of the second-generation residential home and community battery energy storage, installed in the residential prosumers and in the electric utilities' premises, in preserving the distribution transformer's lifetime is discussed and conclusions are drawn.
