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.
