Abstract: The existence of an efficient and sufficiently extensive charging infrastructure network appears to be of vital importance for the widespread acceptance of electric mobility by users. The present work aims to develop a tool based on big data analysis that helps to deploy a network of charging stations which can efficiently serve the potential demand, both from the user side, improving the level of service for charging and to cover the territory in a satisfactory way, and from the business side, allowing an analysis of the potential power load. The paper integrates real world traffic data and the results of an experimental campaign on an electric vehicle to evaluate the instantaneous power demand of a fast charging station, based on a procedure for the evaluation and proper time allocation of each charge request.
