Technical and economical optimization of public car-charging infrastructure via determination of key performance indicators and identification of potential for improvement

  • The passenger transport sector is undergoing a transition towards electric mobility to reduce CO2 emissions. One commonly mentioned challenge that could hinder the success of electric vehicles is the availability of public charging infrastructure. This work focuses on optimizing public car infrastructure from both technical and economic perspectives, providing valuable insights for decision-makers and operators of charging infrastructure. It begins with a general analysis of mobility behavior in Germany, followed by an examination of charging locations. Subsequently, the stakeholders involved in public car charging infrastructure are identified, and their goals are used to construct a set of key performance indicators (KPIs). These KPIs enable a comprehensive assessment of public car charging infrastructure. The identified KPIs, including Economic Efficiency, Utilization, and Usability, are then applied to an exemplary set of public charging points, showcasing the practicality of these metrics, and offering valuable insights intoThe passenger transport sector is undergoing a transition towards electric mobility to reduce CO2 emissions.

The findings from the application of the KPI set, such as the critical economic situation of the assessed public charging infrastructure, are integrated with potential improvement opportunities and concrete measures to achieve the set goals. The work emphasizes the importance of charging demand and utilization rate as key factors for the success of the evaluated charging stations, while also highlighting various other aspects that can enhance the performance of any public charging station.show moreshow less
