The software provides the demand forecasting and optimisation of provision needed to demonstrate where additional chargers will deliver the most benefits to local (and visiting) EV owners, helping to ensure that the expanded network is cost-effective and sustainable.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n        <h3 class=\"schema-faq-question  \" itemprop=\"name\">Is Opticharge designed to be used for planning local or regional charging provision?<\/h3>\n        <div class=\"schema-faq-answer\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n            <div itemprop=\"text\">\n\n<p>Both \u2013 it has been used for the full range of networks, from rural Local Authorities and individual cities up to regional strategies and the whole of the GB mainland\u2019s strategic road network.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n        <h3 class=\"schema-faq-question  \" itemprop=\"name\">What makes Opticharge different from other approaches?<\/h3>\n        <div class=\"schema-faq-answer\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n            <div itemprop=\"text\">\n\n<p>Opticharge avoids the assumption that a single specific network of chargers is required in any future year. Instead, it rapidly simulates a wide range of additional provision, starting from the current network, including numerous combinations of slow, fast, rapid &amp; ultra-rapid chargers and points the user to the combination which provides the optimal combination of Level of Service, operator revenue and infrastructure cost.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n        <h3 class=\"schema-faq-question  \" itemprop=\"name\">Is Opticharge expensive?<\/h3>\n        <div class=\"schema-faq-answer\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n            <div itemprop=\"text\">\n\n<p>No, by optimising the additions to your public-charging network, you are likely to save more in future capital and operating costs than you spend on the Opticharge modelling and support.
