"We already know that there is a need for EV charging networks that are flexible, in order to support the adoption of EVs," says Leila Hajibabai, corresponding author of a paper on the work and an assistant professor in NC State's Fitts Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering. "That's because there is tremendous variability in when and where people want to charge their vehicles, how much time they can spend at a charging station, how long it takes to charge their vehicles, and so on.

"The fundamental question we wanted to address with this work is: What is the best way to manage existing charging station infrastructure in order to best meet the demands of electric vehicle users?"
