How to introduce new facility in MATSim?

[saxenism]

I want to introduce a new facility in MATSim simulations. Specifically, it's electric vehicle charging stations. Would just adding it in facilites.xml file suffice or would I have to make changes elsewhere too?

Consider using the Electric Vehicle contribution, which can handle vehicle discharging, charging and many other EV related functionality: https://github.com/matsim-org/matsim/tree/master/contribs/ev There's also a runnable example https://github.com/matsim-org/matsim/blob/master/contribs/ev/src/main/java/org/matsim/contrib/ev/example/RunEVExample.java

Please can you give again the good link for the example because this (https://github.com/matsim-org/matsim/blob/master/contribs/ev/src/main/java/org/matsim/contrib/ev/example/RunEVExample.java) doesn't run

This one should work: https://github.com/matsim-org/matsim/blob/master/contribs/ev/src/main/java/org/matsim/contrib/ev/example/RunEvExample.java
