Charge the North: Characterizing Electric Vehicle Charging Profiles Enhancing Charging Infrastructure in Canada-Presented at EVS 31 EVTeC 2018, Kobe, Japan, October 1 - 3, 2018

摘要

Charge the North is a research initiative managed by FleetCarma in partnership with the Government of Canada and several electric utility companies. Project funding enabled 1,000 EV owners across Canada to install a free telematics device into their vehicles to collect real-world charging data, regardless of the charging station used or location. This paper will provide audience members with an overview of Charge the North including scope, design, implementation, and will describe key findings from program including: participant characteristics, charging profiles and load analyses for short-range and long-range plug-in vehicles, and average loads at various utility system level.
