Toward a Smarter EV Infrastructure: Patterns, Gaps, and Opportunities in Public Charging Station Networks

The rapid adaptation of electric vehicles (EV) requires a reliable and easy -to -access public load infrastructure. In order to find the smarter trends, gaps and opportunities for infrastructure development, this study considered the public charges of electric vehicles around the world. We study chargers, costs, space access and distribution measures using a data set of 5,000 charging stations. To optimize the position of the charger and attract attention to the difference in access between urban and rural areas, mixed programming and statistical analysis are used. The results show that urban areas have a higher load but are blocked, while rural areas do not have enough coverage. Improve cybersecurity procedures and integrate renewable energy sources are two areas that can be used improved. The results are supported by recent documents, emphasizing the importance of the fair and effective EV infrastructure plan.
