Electric car charging station location problem

Accessing to the electric vehicle (EV) charging stations affects the users’ experience and adaptability of converting from a conventional in-combustion engine (ICE) vehicle to EV. With Singapore in the testing phase on the feasibility of EV, the study helps determine the optimised locations of the c...

description Accessing to the electric vehicle (EV) charging stations affects the users’ experience and adaptability of converting from a conventional in-combustion engine (ICE) vehicle to EV. With Singapore in the testing phase on the feasibility of EV, the study helps determine the optimised locations of the charging stations.

Several of these variables are key inputs for a Mixed-integer Programming (MIP) model, used in this study for optimal EV charging station location assignment. The algorithm minimises the walking distance between the destinations to charging stations.
