What is the Site Capacity Index?

The Site Capacity Index represents the ratio of energy consumed to available energy under a site's constraints, expressed as a percentage from 0-100%. This metric applies to sites with delayed charging and off-peak night periods, providing clear visibility into site energy utilization and growth potential.

When a site's index exceeds 100%, it indicates that not all vehicles will achieve full charge by morning. For optimal operation, maintaining the index below 80% ensures efficient charging capacity management.

Monitoring Site Utilization

Top Utilization Sites Dashboard

The real-time dashboard displays the top 10 locations with the highest utilization over the past 30 days, ranked by their Site Capacity Index. This visibility enables:

  • Immediate identification of sites nearing capacity limits

  • Proactive infrastructure planning

  • Prioritization of necessary upgrades

  • Strategic resource allocation

Weekly Utilization Analysis

The weekly utilization trend graph provides comprehensive performance insights across your charging network:

  • View and compare your top 20 most utilized locations

  • Track weekly maximum capacity utilization measurements

  • Identify rising trends approaching or exceeding 80%

  • Plan infrastructure upgrades based on usage patterns

Making Data-Driven Decisions

The Site Capacity Index tools support strategic planning through:

  • Daily energy utilization calculations for proactive site management

  • Early identification of growth opportunities before capacity constraints arise

  • Advanced visualization tools for monitoring trends

  • Clear metrics for infrastructure investment planning

  • Optimization insights for existing electrical connections

This comprehensive view of site capacity enables operators to make informed decisions about infrastructure development and energy management, ensuring scalable and efficient charging operations.
