Case Study: Oxfordshire County Council optimises EV charging rollout with Mind Foundry

Combine multiple data sources into one AI solution that makes the rollout of EV infrastructure as efficient, equitable, and beneficial as possible

The customer, Oxfordshire County Council, faced the challenge of planning an equitable and efficient electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure rollout. With a growing disparity between EV adoption and available chargers, they needed a new approach to optimize budgets and ensure fair access for all citizens. They partnered with the vendor, Mind Foundry, to address this using the Mind Foundry Platform.

Mind Foundry's solution combined geospatial modelling and various data sources with advanced forecasting to intelligently predict EV charging requirements. This provided Oxfordshire County Council with sophisticated scenario modelling and data-driven optimisation capabilities. The results empowered the council to make critical business decisions responsibly, optimize infrastructure budgets, better manage electricity demand, and ensure ethical considerations for local communities were met.
