Hello!
Is it possible to somehow integrate locations of chargings stations for electric vehicles in the route planning?
We would like to be able to plan a stop at a charging station as either a separate activity or at lunchbreak.
Thank you in advance!
Hi Charlotta,
In the existing software (version 6.10+), we support an implicit model for handling recharging of electric vehicles. The forms part of the ‘Travel Cost Model’ functionality, which now includes the options to increase the journey time when certain thresholds are met. So if you have an electric vehicle that needs recharging after 100km say, then the DSE can extend the journey time by a configurable amount (perhaps 45 minutes) to allow for this, when this threshold is reached.
In the next release (6.12) we intend to also support an explicit model, whereby the remaining charge in the vehicle is represented as a part, and the vehicle can be scheduled to visit a recharging depot to re-fill when necessary. Note that this would require the available recharging points to be loaded into the system as part of the load data.
Thanks,
Paul
