To reduce the greenhouse emissions of the Croatian transport sector conventional fuels have to be replaced with energy produced from renewable sources. Technologies that are getting the most attention nowadays are various types of electric vehicles. The purpose of this paper is to examine the transportation system of the City of Zagreb, with a focus on personal vehicle trips and to obtain the power load curve for the transport sector. The paper is based on travel demand forecasting, also referred to as the four step model (FSM). The FSM is used for the forecasting of future demand and performance of a transportation system, and it was developed for the estimation of infrastructure projects. In this case study, the FSM is used to approximately calculate number of vehicles on the road in each hour and their traveled kilometers. Both values are used to calculate consumption and availability of vehicles for charging and supplying the energy to grid which indirectly leads to calculation of charging load curves. The results will show that from the total number of the vehicles, around 70% are in traffic during the peak hours. The consumption of energy during peak hours is from 6% to 8% of the overall daily consumption.
