This INSPIRE award is partially funded by the Communication and Information Foundations Program in the Division of Computing and Communication Foundations of the Directorate for Computer & Information Science & Engineering (CISE/CCF) and the Economics Program in the Division of Social and Economic Sciences of the Directorate for Social, Behavioral & Economic Sciences (SBE/SES), and addresses engineering and economic challenges in developing a sustainable pathway to an electric-vehicle based transportation system. In particular, the project aims to develop transformative technologies and economic/policy solutions that facilitate a paradigm shift from individual and on-demand charging of today to one of network-switched, interactive, and managed charging. The major benefits of the new paradigm include reduced peak power demand from large scale charging, improved profit potential for charging facilities, enhanced consumer experience, and ultimately the wider adoption of electric vehicles.The project pursues joint economic and engineering solutions based on an architectural innovation that integrates renewable sources, responds to real time electricity pricing, and interacts with consumers through dynamic and service differentiated pricing. The project employs economic modeling and optimization techniques to characterize demand and profit conditions. A dynamic model will be developed to investigate the interactions between charging facility investments and electric vehicle ownership. Counterfactual analysis will be conducted to gain insights into the roles of consumers, investors, and the government and the impacts of different economic, policy and technological factors in the diffusion process of electric vehicles and charging infrastructure.

该 INSPIRE 奖的部分资金由计算机与信息科学与工程理事会 (CISE/CCF) 计算和通信基础部的通信和信息基础项目以及社会、行为和经济科学理事会 (SBE/SES) 社会和经济科学部的经济项目资助，旨在解决开发基于电动汽车的交通系统的可持续途径的工程和经济挑战。特别是，该项目旨在开发变革性技术和经济/政策解决方案，促进从当今的个人和按需充电到网络交换、交互式和管理充电的范式转变。新模式的主要好处包括减少大规模充电的峰值电力需求、提高充电设施的盈利潜力、增强消费者体验以及最终更广泛地采用电动汽车。该项目寻求基于架构创新的联合经济和工程解决方案，整合可再生能源，响应实时电价，并通过动态和服务差异化定价与消费者互动。该项目采用经济建模和优化技术来描述需求和利润状况。将开发一个动态模型来研究充电设施投资与电动汽车拥有量之间的相互作用。 将进行反事实分析，以深入了解消费者、投资者和政府的角色以及不同经济、政策和技术因素在电动汽车和充电基础设施扩散过程中的影响。
