Add your issue description here. How should I define the attributes of a charging station so that a charging station can allow multiple EVs to charge simultaneously? If possible, upload an example that shows your problem.

SUMO-version:1.21.1

operating system:win 11

Charging stations can be defined in two ways:

• independently of parkings (no parkingArea referenced): then the space between the startPos and endPos positions needs to be large enough to accomodate more vehicles
• linked to parkings (parkingArea referenced): then the number of charging points is defined by the capacity of the parkingArea

I tried to use parkingArea to define the capacity of the charging station, but it doesn't seem to be working during the run, as shown below:

Can you please post the definition of both the parking and the charging station?

That's all

Please read the documentation about charging stations.

1. define the parkingArea before the chargingStation element (or load the the respective file before if defined separately)
2. reference the parkingArea in the chargingStation element by setting the attribute parkingArea="<ID of parkingArea>"

Thank you very much for your suggestion！it has been successful after modification. In addition, I have a question, is there such a function: each parking space can be used as a charging pile, so that when a charging station has multiple available parking Spaces (charging piles), it can allocate parking Spaces with high charging power (charging piles)?

You have to create separate charging stations for different charging power values.

Thank you for your advice.
