Define the Battery Charging Speed in terms of C-Rate. The C-Rate for a given charger-battery combination is the number of batteries that can be fully charged from 0 to 100% in one hour.

Fixed Cost

Technology: TO

Table: BatteryChargingOptionDefinitions

Internal Name: FixedCost

Type: Short Text (50)

Enter the fixed cost incurred whenever the battery charging option is used. Enter a value, then select a currency. If no currency is selected, the default Currency from Model Settings is used.

Variable Cost

Technology: TO

Table: BatteryChargingOptionDefinitions

Internal Name: VariableCost

Type: Short Text (100)

Enter the variable cost incurred for each unit when the battery is charged. The number of units is calculated as:

Number of Units = (Range When Leaving charging station - Range At Arrival at charging station) * Per Distance Consumption Rate

where:

Range When Leaving and Range At Arrival are populated in the Stops output table and Per Distance Consumption Rate is defined in the Electric Vehicle Battery Definitions table.

The total Variable Cost incurred is:

Number of Units * Variable Cost

Enter a value, then select a currency. If no currency is selected, the default Currency from Model Settings is used.
