Description

What charging infrastructure for plug-in electric vehicles will we need tomorrow? And where exactly? This can only be answered by knowing the future charging requirements. The “charging demand scenarios” provide this information for each Swiss municipality and thus facilitate planning. The “charging demand scenarios” break down Switzerland's future charging demand into each individual municipality. The tool thus goes one step further than the “Understanding charging infrastructure 2050” study on which it is based. This opens up new opportunities for municipalities, charging network operators, distribution network operators and the real estate industry to plan, invest and make decisions on a data-driven basis. It provides information on where charging points will be in demand in the future, how powerful they need to be and how much energy they require. The most important parameters are presented in maps: Among other things, they show how many plug-in electric vehicles can be expected in a specific municipality and how many generally accessible charging points will be needed. The key year is 2035, because by then plug-in electric vehicles will account for more than half of all registered vehicles. The data can be downloaded as geopackage files (.gpkg). All raw data (.csv file) from the “Understanding charging infrastructure 2050” study is also available, such as the performance and density of the charging network, the cumulative installed capacity of charging infrastructure and new car registrations. The data extends in five-year increments up to the year 2050 and is suitable for our own calculations. The assumptions for the various charging worlds are based on a stakeholder process underlying the “Understanding charging infrastructure 2050” tool. It represents the current industry consensus of various user groups and is updated regularly. The simulated data is the result of algorithms and the EBP model landscape. The raw data is not only available for municipalities, but also for around 8000 traffic zones and cantons. Many other attributes are also available, such as the energy charged per charging requirement, the availability of charging infrastructure at home or at work, the number of charging points per charging option and the installed charging capacity in buildings and at generally accessible charging points, as well as the performance of the generally accessible charging network.
