Prague: EV Charging infrastructure

The Challenge

As a part of Prague’s ambition to support adoption of e-mobility, the city seeks to develop an evidence-based decision-making support tool, aiding the municipality and local stakeholders with placing new charging infrastructure and with monitoring and evaluation of its use . It should contain insights for initial infrastructure placement, provide multi-criterial assessment, monitor and evaluate of the infrastructure and its use to help its further development and management. 

The Objective

 The current charging infrastructure is placed randomly according to partial needs, not as a comprehensive development activity of the whole locality. This can bring challenges in terms of undersized capacity in the locality in the future, can result in additional installation costs and therefore it is preferable to base the whole process on data analysis of needs and resources using a smart solution.
