EVs@Scale - Next-Gen Profiles: High Level Analysis and Procedures Report: U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy (EERE)

As part of the U.S. DOE EVs@Scale consortium, the NextGen Profiles (NGP) project presents analysis and results from the study of High Power Charging Electric Vehicles and Battery Charging Infrastructure. High Power Charging equipment is capable of recharging electric vehicle traction batteries at power levels of 200KW and above. The NextGen Profiles project has three pillars of investigation: Electric Vehicle Charging Profile Capture, Electric Vehicle Service Equipment Performance Characterization and Fleet Utilization analysis. All NextGen Profiles project testing was conducted under test conditions that comprise a diverse range of realistic real-world operating conditions including nominal conditions that should transfer the maximum allowable energy in the minimum time possible and off-nominal conditions that typify charging performance under suboptimal charging conditions. Results from 13 unique EVs, eight EVSEs and four electrified fleets are included in the NextGen Profiles project analysis. Findings from the NextGen Profiles project are broken out into four reports. EV Profile Capture: A NextGen Profiles Project Report details test data, outcomes and evaluation related to EV charging profile capture. EVSE Characterization: A NextGen Profiles Project Report details test data, outcomes and evaluation related to EVSE performance characterization. Fleet Utilization: A NextGen Profiles Project Report details insights from case studies of EV and EVSE fleet utilization. This High Level Analysis & Procedures: A NextGen Profiles Project Report summarizes the electrified mobility charging landscape, NextGen Profiles testing procedures and findings detailed in the other three reports. The results published in the series of NextGen Profiles project reports provide data and insight for use by numerous entities including modeling and simulation organizations, policy makers, fleet planners and industry stakeholders among others involved with the development and deployment of electrified transportation technologies. Additional high-power conductive and wireless charging results are anticipated in future publications in support of the U.S. DOE EVs@Scale consortium NextGen Profiles project.
