INCEPTS is a patent-pending technology for simulating real-world electric vehicle performance by using high-fidelity battery and vehicle dynamics that incorporate local conditions. We're currently using INCEPTS to guide policy and investments for cost-effective and equitable charger placement.
Use Cases
Trip Planning
Utilizing the high-fidelity electric vehicle model within INCEPTS, we can analyze individual routes to determine if the specified vehicle can make the trip under the given local and environmental conditions.
Fleet Analysis
Utilizing the complex system analysis tools and high-performance computing capabilities within INCEPTS, we can analyze the performance of electric vehicle fleets within a target location under various local and environmental conditions.
Charging Infrastructure
By taking a probabilistic approach to predicting charger demand, INCEPTS can place chargers cost-effectively and equitably while reducing investment costs and meeting user demand.
