Table 7.

Sensitivity to the number of charging types

Number of charging point types	7 types	5 types
Total number of charging points	−7.87%	+10.5%
Total expenditure (£)	−0.85%	+3.36%
Average number of EVs charged by a single charging point	+7.39%	−9.43%
Average operating hours of charging points (h)	−1.03%	+0.24%

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.
