Charging Station; Site Selection; Overview.Abstract
With the acceleration of the global energy transition and the rapid growth in the number of electric vehicles, the rational deployment of charging infrastructure has become a key bottleneck constraining the further development of the electric vehicle industry. As a complex systemic endeavor, the site selection for charging stations not only affects user experience and operational efficiency but also impacts the energy supply efficiency of transportation systems and the stable operation of urban power grids. This paper aims to provide a systematic review of recent research progress on the issue of charging station site selection.
