The data used in this study is drawn from a publicly available mobile application, which provides the real-time availability of charging piles (i.e., idle or not). Within Shenzhen, China, a total of 18,061 public charging piles are covered during the studied period from 19 June to 18 July 2022 (30 days) with a minimum interval of 5 minutes and 8640 timestamps
. As shown in Figure 1, the city is constructed into a graph-structure data with 247 nodes
(traffic zones) and 1006 edges
(adjacent relationships).

Besides, the pricing schemes for the studied charging piles are also collected. Among the 247 traffic zones, 57 of them (enclosed in red lines) deploy time-based pricing schemes, while others use fixed ones. More statistical details are illustrated in the following table.

We developed a physics-informed and attention-based approach for spatio-temporal EV charging demand prediction, named PAG. Expect that, some representative methods are included, e.g., LSTM, and GCN-LSTM, GAT-LSTM. You can train and test the proposed model through the following procedures:
- Choose your model in line 45 of
main.py
or use the default model (PAG-) by skipping this procedure. - Run
main.py
via Pycharm, etc. or change your ROOT_PATH and command:
cd [path] && python main.py
- If you want to run your own models on the datasets we offer, you should go to
models.py
and replace the model inmain.py
.
More updates will be posed in the near future! Thank you for your interest.
