Abstract

Electric vehicles have developed into one of the most desirable transportation alternatives in recent times. India and many countries such as the USA and the UK are working on various projects and policies to increase the amount of electrically powered vehicles onto their roads soon to deal with continuously rising fuel prices and CO2 emissions. For effective implementation of such plans, suitable charging infrastructure requires supplying the electrical fuel to these vehicles. In this paper, we studied and different types of factors, such as traffic density, weather, parking space, solar power capacity, and many other factors, to identify the optimum location for public charging stations within a specified area with the help of AHP-fuzzy TOPSIS approach.
