• Abstract: The transport sector is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in Europe. Shifting to electric vehicles (EVs) powered by a low-carbon energy mix would reduce carbon emissions. However, to support the development of electric mobility, a better understanding of EV charging behaviours and more accurate forecasting models are needed. To fill that gap, the Smarter Mobility Data Challenge has focused on the development of forecasting models to predict EV charging station occupancy. This challenge involved analysing a dataset of 91 charging stations across four geographical areas over seven months in 2020-2021. The forecasts were evaluated at three levels of aggregation (individual stations, areas and global) to capture the inherent hierarchical structure of the data. The results highlight the potential of hierarchical forecasting approaches to accurately predict EV charging station occupancy, providing valuable insights for energy providers and EV users alike. This open dataset addresses many real-world challenges associated with time series, such as missing values, non-stationarity and spatio-temporal correlations. Access to the dataset, code and benchmarks are available at https://gitlab.com/smarter-mobility-data-challenge/tutorials to foster future research.

  This article presents a location-based load forecasting of EV charging sites using a deep Multi-Quantile Temporal Convolutional Network (MQ-TCN) We conducted experiments on data from four charging sites, namely, Caltech, JPL, Office-1, and NREL, which have diverse EV user types. Our proposed deep MQ-TCN model exhibited a remarkable 28.93% improvement over the XGBoost model for a day-ahead load forecasting at the JPL charging site.

  "Smart" electric vehicle charging stations (EVCSs) will be a key step toward achieving green transportation.

We propose an unsupervised deep learning-based mechanism to detect CMAs by monitoring the parameters involved in EV charging.

  Electric vehicles (EVs) may change the travel behavior of drivers and pose a significant electricity demand on the power system. Since the electricity demand depends on the travel behavior of EVs, the forecasting of daily charging demand (CD) will be a challenging task. In this paper, we use the recorded GPS data of EVs and conventional gasoline-powered vehicles from the same city to investigate the potential shift in the travel behavior of drivers.
