Electric vehicles (EVs) represent the future of road transportation, offering substantial environmental benefits.

Governments are actively promoting the transition to EVs through consumer incentives and support for authorities to build the necessary infrastructure.

A critical component of this shift is the widespread availability of charging stations.

Charging stations are categorized into three levels based on the speed of the charging process. To analyze the demand for charging stations, a scenario-based approach is adopted, using different values for the market penetration of EVs.

Based on the characteristics of each location, traffic demand, and potential parking duration, the charging demand is forecasted. By comparing these results, locations are ranked, and final recommendations on the number and level of charging stations are made.
