Welcome to EVPV-Simulator’s Documentation

The EVPV-Simulator is an open-source python tool to support privately owned vehicle electrification planning studies in a given region of interest. The tool has been developed at EPFL PVLab, as part of the EU HORIZON OpenMod4Africa project.

Here, you can find the extended documentation of the model, with user guides, examples, and a full API reference for advanced use. Please make sure to also check the GitHub organization containing all the repositories of the project.

🎥 Video Tutorial: We’ve recently released a series of YOUTUBE VIDEO TUTORIALS to help you get started with the tool effectively.
