What is it about?
The effect of different charging infrastructure configurations on the electric-driven distance of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (e-mileage) were studied here. Our findings suggest that the same e-mileage can be achieved with fewer charging poles if the poles support charging from several parking slots around them, and the charging cable is switched from one vehicle to the next. We also find that a charging power of 3.7 kW and the cable switching delay of 1 h seem to be sufficient for effective workplace charging.

If you're interested in how to optimize the charging poles for an electric vehicle fleet, this article provides the advice. Actually, you'll be surprised that the number of poles needed is not that much.
