Background

About Sohaib Rafique

I help fleets, government agencies, and energy networks accelerate the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) and achieve net zero emissions by delivering data-driven modelling, EV charging infrastructure strategies, and tailored advisory solutions. My work drives cleaner, smarter transport systems and resilient, future-ready energy grids. With a PhD in Energy Optimisation and over $400M influenced in EV infrastructure investments, I lead multidisciplinary teams to develop industry-adopted digital twins, optimisation algorithms, and techno-economic frameworks that support confident decision-making across Australia, the US, and the UK. Key highlights: • Architecting multi-physics models used by operators for electric bus procurement and depot charging upgrades • Directing grid impact digital twins adopted by multiple Distribution Network Service Providers (DNSPs) for regulatory negotiations • Leading EV charging infrastructure strategies influencing over $400M in public and private funding • Publishing advanced optimisation methods that improve load factors and reduce energy costs Fleet Electrification | Grid Impact Modelling | Charging Infrastructure Planning | Data-Driven Strategy | Techno-Economic Analysis
