Equity-aware electric vehicle (EV) charging planning remains difficult in data-constrained cities. In this work, an integrated framework was developed by combining spatiotemporal graph neural networks (ST-GNNs), EVI-Pro Lite demand estimation, and lexicographic bi-level optimization, and was applied to Bogotá, Colombia (8.3 million inhabitants). Household travel survey data (12,500 households across 142 zones) were used to estimate zone-level priority scores and venue-specific temporal weights. EVI-Pro Lite simulations projected a 2025 requirement of 10,870 charging ports (7352 residential, 2739 workplace, and 779 public). In the allocation stage, Level 1 preserved priority-proportional targets, while Level 2 minimized inter-zonal inequality in Hansen accessibility subject to near-optimal Level-1 compliance. The final allocation retained strong priority alignment in installed ports (Spearman ρ=0.799, p<10−31), while the priority–accessibility association was lower (Spearman ρ=0.320, p=1.04×10−4), consistent with second-stage equity redistribution. Equity outcomes also improved (Hansen Gini = 0.433; bottom-50% Lorenz share = 0.204). The mean Hansen accessibility reached 296.630 (standard deviation 248.099; minimum 1.126). These findings indicate that reproducible, equity-oriented EV infrastructure plans can be produced in cities where revealed charging microdata are limited.
