On January 30, 2026, the TRANS Research Group hosted an invited academic lecture by Professor B. Brian Park from the University of Virginia’s Link Lab, titled “Accelerating Electrification: Exploring Electric Vehicle Charging Duration, Battery Degradation, Driving Range Estimation, and Route Planning.” To address the complex performance of electric vehicles (EVs) in real-world operations, Professor Park presented charging duration estimation models based on large-scale telematics integration and minute-level Tesla Scope data from over 600 vehicles. The work highlighted the use of multivariate regression and time-series modeling to quantify the impacts of vehicle age, temperature cycles, mileage accumulation, and user charging patterns on long-term energy capacity. Furthermore, by integrating high-resolution telematics data retrieved from OBD-II ports, the research incorporated driver acceleration dynamics, traffic congestion, ambient temperature, and terrain slope to construct predictive remaining driving range estimation models. This presentation not only advanced the transition from static models to scalable analytical tools but also provided scientific support for data-informed climate mitigation strategies.
