Electric Era's Approach to Simulating EV Charging to Plan Station Power Draw

We developed a simulation tool that uses historical charging data and advanced statistical modeling to accurately predict grid capacity needs for EV charging stations, balancing the risks of over- and under-provisioning. By incorporating real-world variability, queueing, and power balancing, the tool helps optimize site design and economics, ensuring reliable charging while minimizing unnecessary infrastructure costs.
