EVs@Scale: NextGen Profiles: Station Impact Analysis 2025

Summary

This report from the U.S. DOE's EVs@Scale NextGen Profiles project addresses the challenge of optimizing high-power electric vehicle (EV) charging performance. It analyzes how EV specifications, initial charge conditions, temperature, and charging station topologies impact direct current fast charging (DCFC) performance. The project is currently in progress, with findings indicating that charging to 100% SOC offers marginal range gains for significantly longer sessions, and that battery preconditioning is crucial for mitigating extreme temperature effects.
