Supporting data-driven EV infrastructure planning in Vallée de la Seine
The Challenge
The Vallée de la Seine region faced several challenges when planning the deployment of EV charging infrastructure. Data relevant to infrastructure planning was fragmented across multiple sources and formats, making comprehensive analysis difficult. In addition, the lack of reliable demand forecasting created uncertainty around the optimal locations for charging stations.
Decision-makers also needed robust, data-driven evidence to justify infrastructure investments to elected officials, while ensuring that limited public budgets were allocated as efficiently as possible.
The Solution
Voltaage applied its AI-powered planning platform to analyse geospatial information, mobility flows, charging behaviour and other relevant datasets. The platform generated data-driven recommendations on where charging infrastructure should be deployed to maximise accessibility, utilisation, and investment efficiency, supporting strategic regional planning. By consolidating information from multiple sources, the platform enables stakeholders to identify optimal charging locations, forecast future demand, and support investment decisions with robust evidence.
Through interactive geospatial mapping and AI-powered analytics, users can visualise key indicators - including population density, EV adoption rates and infrastructure coverage - to identify high-potential locations. In addition, the solution provides utilisation forecasts, revenue and return-on-investment estimates and decision-ready reports, helping public authorities prioritise investments and communicate recommendations effectively to stakeholders.
Making an impact
- Improved decision-making for regional EV charging deployment
- More efficient allocation of infrastructure investments
- Better alignment between charging infrastructure and expected demand
- Support for the region's transition towards sustainable mobility through evidence-based planning.
Lessons learnt
- AI and geospatial analytics can significantly improve long-term infrastructure planning.
- Using real mobility and charging data reduces investment risk compared with traditional planning approaches.
- Collaboration between technology providers and regional authorities enables more effective and scalable electrification strategies.
