EV Charging Station Planning Based on Nearby Station Data

Abstract

This paper presents the optimal electric vehicle charging station installation planning, focusing on the installation scenarios where the location is pre-selected. The optimization process includes the maximum charging power capacity and the number of electric vehicles charging stations. Energy consumption information from nearby charging stations is harvested and then analyzed for forecasting the energy supply behavior of each charging station. This paper has a financial analysis to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of each installation scenario. Additionally, this methodology is demonstrated through the real-world data of charging patterns from electric vehicles at each charging station in Thailand.
