The model already has the simple shiftable demand (SSD) model, but as was seen in this paper, the abstraction of demand is really only useful in understanding operational decisions. In other words, it would be difficult to use the SSD model to try to understand investment decisions. As such, it would be helpful to have representations of common home electrification technologies, such as electric vehicles (EVs) and heat pumps. Both would need to include (preferably simple) models that consider temperature effects and can take inputs to consider different user interactions (e.g., vehicle availability for EVs).
