EVopt Planner

EVopt-Planner models driving and charging operations to determine the optimum size of the electric fleet, vehicle batteries, and charging/energy infrastructure, aiming to minimize capital and operational costs. Its built-in simulation and “what-if” analysis functions aid in evaluating the impact of changes to operating conditions, mitigating risks arising from uncertainties.
