Table 6.
Sensitivity to the number of EVs
| Changes in the EV numbers | +10% | −10% |
|---|---|---|
| Total number of charging points | +27.5% | −5.3% |
| Total expenditure (£) | +30.4% | −7.8% |
| Average number of EVs charged by a single charging point | −10.5% | +14.1% |
| Average operating hours of charging points (h) | −17.5% | +6.5% |
Base of comparison is Leading The Way scenario for the year 2042, EV quantity 134606, and 6 types of EV charging points (cf. Table 3). The percentages are obtained by taking average over 6 runs of the optimization.
