An EV trip planner for Australia
David Colls

EVs are transforming transport, while Australia has unique resilience requirements for our beloved road trips. Could I build an app with data & AI to help more Aussies electrify their rides?

Come on a journey through operations research, spatial data, graphs and more, prototyping with python, streamlit and a host of useful libraries and open data services. Follow the winding road of development as we encounter and resolve challenges.

We'll also explore the applicability of this approach to related problems in EV network and fleet planning. I hope you'll leave full of charge for your next data-driven adventure.
