Table 2 Summarises representative demand patterns for three typical location types used later in the optimisation.
Location type | Peak demand window | Dominant vehicle segment | Relative hourly variability | Charger type priority |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Urban Cluster | 08:00–10:00, 17:00–20:00 | 2W, 3W, Cars | High (commute-driven) | AC + mid-power DC |
Transit Hub | 10:00–18:00 | Cars, Fleet EVs | Medium | Mid-power DC |
Highway Node | 11:00–15:00 | Cars, Taxis, Intercity | Medium–High | Fast DC (60–120 kW) |
