With an increasing interest in Electric Vehicles (EVs), it is essential to understand how EV charging could impact demand on the Electricity Grid. Existing approaches used to achieve this make use of a centralised data collection mechanism - which often is agnostic of demand variation in a given geographical area. We present an in-transit data processing architecture that is more efficient and can aggregate a variety of different types of data. A model using Reference nets has been developed and evaluated. Our focus in this paper is primarily to introduce requirements for such an architecture. \textcopyright 2013 IEEE.
