This study aims to determine the optimal location of multi-type electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, e.g., fast and slow charging stations, for maximizing the covered traffic flows under a limited budget while considering EV users' partial charging behavior and elastic demand. A two-phase approach is proposed to efficiently solve this problem.

Deploying Charging Infrastructure to Support an Accelerated Transition to Zero-Emission Vehicles

2022

Author(s): Bernard M R, Kok I, Dallmann T, Ragon P-L

The study shows more than 100 million chargers, including 6.2 million public ones representing 240 GW of public installed power output, will be needed across ZEVTC jurisdictions by 2030. As of mid-2022, only 13% of public chargers and 10% of power output were in place.
