Depot charging slot allocation calculator

Calculate charging schedule [charger,vehicle,start,end,delivered kWh] and unmet energy by vehicle [ID,kWh] with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use charging schedule [charger,vehicle,start,end,delivered kWh] and unmet energy by vehicle [ID,kWh] to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Calculation method

Calculation method

Charging schedule [charger,vehicle,start,end,delivered kWh]

At each aligned time slot, allocate each charger to unassigned connected vehicle with earliest departure then ID; energy=min(remainingNeed,power*slot/60). One vehicle per charger and one charger per vehicle at a time.

Unmet energy by vehicle [ID,kWh]

max(0,need-sumDelivered).

Total delivered energy (kWh)

Sum schedule energy.

Total unmet energy (kWh)

Sum vehicle unmet energy.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Preemptive constant-power earliest-departure heuristic on aligned slots, not a global feasibility proof. Identical chargers, unit charging efficiency represented by delivered kW; partial final-slot energy is spread over slot. No taper, connector compatibility, battery limits, grid cap or electrical engineering assurance. Supported limits: 1..100 vehicles, 1..20 chargers with identical positive power; integer slot/horizon, horizon divisible by slot, <=1440 slots; arrivals/departures align to slot within horizon; needs>=0.
