Charging utilization measures how much of the time chargers are actually delivering energy, distinct from how often the charging spaces are occupied. In a parking facility:
- An airport deck studied in the paper showed spaces 63% connected but chargers drawing power only 12% of the time parked: full-looking spaces, nearly idle assets.
Considerations
- Low utilization signals over-speeding or over-counting, not success. Measure energy delivered, not stalls occupied.
