Managing Electric Vehicle load impacts on low-voltage distribution grids | Simulator tool
As local governments seek to electrify their fleet and provide public charging infrastructure, assessing the impact of charging stations and planning for future capacity upgrades will be a key consideration to best manage peak capacity stress. The World Resources Institute provides a model-based simulator that enables users to evaluate the potential electric vehicle (EV) load impacts on the low-voltage distribution grid. This tool can be used to quantify the effects of different vehicle-grid integration technologies to help alleviate peak capacity stress.

Access a list of EVSE organisations that can assist your council in the supply and installation of electric vehicle charging stations from council depots to public charging stations for your community.
Design Recommendations for Accessible Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (US Guidelines)
This resource provides design and construction guidance of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations to ensure accessible and usable public charging considerations for people with disabilities. EV charging stations are often unattended. It is therefore important that EV charging stations are accessible to allow independent use by drivers with disabilities. (Note- Australian guidelines on disability access for charging infrastructure is currently in development with a trial underway in South Australia with Royal Automobile Association (RAA) and CPP will seek to upload this resource where possible)
