How to Use This Tool
Allocate hourly charging by deadline without exceeding a user-entered site cap. Schedule several EV charging needs against one household power cap, show unmet energy by deadline, and export an hourly allocation plan.
The work this page finishes
Two or more vehicles can each be feasible alone yet overload the shared circuit or miss an earlier departure when their sessions are planned independently. For Multi-EV Charge Planner, keeping source order beside the computed artifact lets a user repair only the failed entries and reproduce the same batch later.
Deterministic workflow
Sort valid vehicles by deadline and allocate hourly energy up to each vehicle maximum and the remaining shared site cap; retain any unmet energy as a visible warning. For Multi-EV Charge Planner, a run is capped at 5,000 items and 2 MB, preventing an accidental oversized paste while preserving successful rows when another row fails.
Why a dedicated interface helps
Use the schedule to compare needs and configure approved equipment; reduce the entered cap for other household loads rather than treating the service rating as spare capacity. For Multi-EV Charge Planner, a purpose-built form exposes every assumption and returns the same ordered structure on every run, which is more practical than reconciling shifting conversational output.
Assumptions
- One-hour slots are acceptable planning granularity.
- Energy need is measured at the charger input.
- The site cap is supplied by a qualified user or installer.
For Multi-EV Charge Planner, keep an untouched copy for comparison after import; the browser performs the work locally, but local software and extensions are not controlled by this page.
Limitations and review boundary
This planning model does not control a charger, inspect wiring, model tapered DC charging, electrical code, efficiency losses or utility demand events. For Multi-EV Charge Planner, the implementation neither follows user-entered links nor evaluates their contents, and it displays material as plain text rather than active HTML.
Verification and provenance
Fixtures derived from the displayed rule and U.S. Department of Energy — Electric Vehicle Charging at Home were reviewed on 2026-08-26; they include normal, empty or invalid, and partial-failure behavior. The example prioritizes the Guest and Commuter deadlines while keeping combined allocation at or below 11 kW each hour.
