The Project i-Flex (Intelligent flexible charging infrastructure) feasibility study assessed and evaluated the technical, operational and commercial viability, as well as the social and economic impacts of developing a fully integrated assessment tool for the end to end delivery of hardware specification and installation for public charging locations and infrastructure.

• Assess the requirements of a fully automated site assessment and installation management application.
• Develop a methodology to deliver prioritised location hot spots for public charging infrastructure based on data from people, vehicles and electricity networks.
• Develop a methodology for categorising installation site archetypes to group and optimise installation and hardware requirements.
• Review the opportunities and constraints a tailored archetype hardware specification will provide.
• Identify the economic, social and environmental benefits and disadvantages to a standardised assessment and installation process, tailored to sites by archetype.
