Methodology

How the EV fleet demo is grounded

Synthetic Oakland depot fixtures, PG&E-style TOU bands, and a cached QPU trace for charger-queue micro-window replay.

Evidence

Sources

  • PG&E B-19–style TOU bands (synthetic $/kWh and demand charge $/kW).
  • Last-mile fleet sizing: 18 vans, 12 L2 bays, 24 stops, embedded distance matrix.
  • Rank 3 use-case framing from demos/Demo_Use_Cases.md ($400–900/day peak avoidance).

Pipeline

Solver settings

  • Routing: greedy nearest-neighbor VRP with energy feasibility per van.
  • Classical: OR-Tools CP-SAT charger×slot assignment minimizing TOU + demand proxy.
  • Hybrid: vehicle×charger×slot QUBO with peak-concurrency penalty; fixture QPU replay.
  • QAOA defaults: reps=1, maxiter=8, shots=256; gated above QTANGL_EVFLEET_QAOA_MAX_VARIABLES (24).
