Abstract

This study describes an analytical method for the location planning of charging stations for electric vehicles (EVs). EVs are expected to help CO2 reduction and to improve road environment such as noise level. In this paper, the theoretical framework of the optimum location of charging stations is explained. We assume that the number of charging stations to install and the basic performance are given. This framework has the base of the traffic assignment technique with Stochastic User Equilibrium (SUE) and its optimization will be achieved with the idea of the entropy maximization.
