The method of determining the location of EV charging stations in urban areas
Abstract
Fully electric vehicles reduce local air and noise pollution and contribute to sustainable transport. Their widespread is, however, limited by the long charging time and the lack of infrastructure required for charging. The article focusses on the latter problem. It presents a multicriteria method developed by the authors, evaluating the territorial units in two steps, using a greedy algorithm to identify possible locations for the urban EV charging station network. The novelty of the method is that, compared to previous ones, the demand for charging stations is estimated by taking into account the average income of the area, the number of electric vehicles, the tourist attractions, the number of inhabitants, the characteristics of the residential area and the traffic-generating facilities. The applicability of the method is presented through the example of Budapest’s 11th district.
