Location of charging stations for electric vehicles

Resumo

The establishment of alternative mobility technologies, such as electric vehicles (EVs), is an effective
step forward in reducing restrictions on the use of carbon oxides and nitrogen oxides. However, EVs have other
concerns related to the charging station infrastructure, such as insufficient quantity to meet demand, prolonged
recharge time and the problem of defining the facilities of these facilities. This article studies the location of

charging stations for electric vehicles by applying the median problem, in order to minimize the distance-customer-
station according to the geographic service capacity. The methodology takes into account socioeconomic and

demographic data, obtained and made available by research and statistical institutes in order to delimit, through
these indicators, the set of demand centers and the candidate sites for the installation of charging stations. A case
study is presented to investigate the problem of location and model choices.
