Opticharge

Local authorities use Opticharge to build the evidence base required for government grants, such as LEVI funding. The software provides the demand forecasting and site-selection data needed to demonstrate where chargers will have the most impact. This data-led approach gives stakeholders confidence that the proposed network is both viable and cost-effective.  

Yes. Opticharge allows fleet managers to simulate the transition of their entire fleet in a digital environment before committing to physical infrastructure. By inputting trip types and vehicle battery capacities, you can forecast the exact energy load required at each depot. This helps you choose the right mix of slow and rapid chargers to avoid unnecessary grid costs.

Opticharge pinpoint areas of highest need by analysing residential, destination, and en-route travel patterns. For residents without off-street parking, the tool simulates where public hubs or lamp post chargers will be most effective. By using these insights, local authorities can ensure equitable access to EV infrastructure across their region.

Opticharge is a dynamic digital solution that simulates multiple future scenarios. It accounts for uncertainties in EV adoption rates and battery technology shifts. Whether your team uses the software directly or works alongside SYSTRA transport and modelling consultants, you get a future-ready model that scales as your network grows.
