Charging infrastructure of electric transport: a method for determining demand for charging stations

The charging infrastructure of the electric transport (ET) fleet is investigated. A review of modern types of electric charging stations (ECS) is provided. It is established that installations for transmitting electric energy to traction batteries of direct current electric vehicles are the most promising, since they provide acceptable time intervals for motorists for downtime of wheeled vehicles near charging terminals. The average time spent by electric vehicles at ECS of various capacities is calculated. A method for determining the demand for ET charging services is developed, taking into account the range and intensity of use of motor vehicles, as well as the average capacity of batteries, the value of which decreases during operation under the influence of temperature fluctuations and physical wear of its cells.
