  • The EV Grid Simulator is a tool developed by the World Resources Institute and the UPS Foundation to help stakeholders like city planners and utility operators analyze how EV charging affects distribution transformers and substations. By inputting data on EV characteristics, charging infrastructure, and grid capacity, users can estimate unmanaged energy demand, identify grid vulnerabilities, and calculate optimized charging curves to defer infrastructure upgrades. The tool also explores vehicle-grid integration (VGI) potential for grid services and helps determine optimal charging locations based on grid resilience and parking habits. However, the model is limited by the accuracy of user inputs, does not provide financial cost-benefit analyses, and cannot accommodate vehicles that charge more than once per day.
