Public charging infrastructure placement, a power demand and supply analysis

Due to environmental constraints, the evolution of mobility systems will lead to the decline of internal combustion engines over the next 10 to 20 years. To electrify the current transportation systems, it is widely admitted that the development of charging infrastructure is needed. This study analyses the balance between supply and demand of electric mobility infrastructure comparing both factors with a power and spatial perspective (the unit used was kW/km2). The model was based on data from electric vehicle (EV) registrations and charging network distribution. The gap between supply and demand is spatialized using QGIS. Milan is the case study of the work.
