Abstract As a green transport means, electric vehicle (EV) has received widespread attention in recent years and an increasing number of cities have been establishing their EV transport systems including EV fleet management and charging infrastructure. Transport policy-makers are concerning about the system performance of an EV charging system measured by energy consumption and user experience. We in this paper aim to develop an effective method for the expected total energy consumption estimation (ETEC) of EV charging systems deployed in a dense city. To achieve this objective, we firstly introduce the nonlinear charging profile, its impacts on energy consumption as well as user experience, and present an approach for estimating the nonlinear charging time. We then elaborate our method to estimate energy consumption for one-time EV charging by addressing four kinds of energy losses in charging process. Next, charging frequency by considering multi-type EVs, and their heterogeneities and different charging needs for normal and fast charging systems is analyzed in depth. These two together determine the network-wide energy consumption and a pro-rated approach is used to figure out the spatial distribution of energy consumption. A case study of Singapore is conducted in the end to validate the proposed methodology. Numerical results reveal a trade-off between energy saving and user experience, and also demonstrate the importance of considering heterogeneities of driving range, charging preference and daily travel mileage.
