We analyze the decision problem of a workplace manager determining the optimal number of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations to install in order to supply employees with adequate charging service and take advantage of EV smart charging opportunities, while also considering the investment costs of installing additional infrastructure. To optimize smart charging revenues, we introduce assignment methods that designate specific charging spots to arriving EVs. This includes two heuristic packing methods and an offline oracle. Under each assignment method, we perform a cost-benefit analysis that determines the optimal number of chargers to install on-site. Our results highlight the importance of considering revenues from demand charge reduction to incentivize investment in additional infrastructure needed to tap into the smart charging potential of EVs, at least under current energy market prices.
