Lesla Ltd Continues Research on AI for Urban EV Charging
Supported by Innovate UK, Lesla is continuing the research on Using AI to Facilitate Electric Vehicle Charging in Urban Environment.
With over 80% of EVs typically charged at home and 38% of UK households lacking access to off-street parking, the demand for reliable on-street charging is more crucial than ever. The Lesla kerb charger system is set to address this gap by enabling vehicles to stay plugged in overnight, benefiting from optimal energy pricing and contributing to the grid through advanced energy services.
Bulding on the findings of our previous project (Using AI to optimise energy flow management in urban electric vehicle charging, 10078489), together with University of Liverpool we will explore how AI algorithms could optimize the operation of kerbside electric vehicle (EV) charging stations within cities. By analyzing data on power limitations within electricity substations, energy demand, and user behavior, the research aims to develop intelligent systems that enhance the efficiency and accessibility of EV charging infrastructure. This work is crucial for supporting the growing adoption of electric vehicles, reducing urban carbon emissions, and promoting sustainable transportation solutions in densely populated areas.
