Abstract
For many academics, determining the placement and size of an electric car charging station could be a brand-new challenge. This study builds a comprehensive objective function that considers geographic data, building costs, and running costs. The cost of the land and the distribution transformer is included in the objective part of construction costs. Running costs take into account power supply losses and traffic flow restrictions, which accurately and thoroughly captures the core issue with the placement and sizing of electric vehicle charging stations. Electric cars have their challenges of shape, structure, and further optimization. The feasibility of getting a charging station also plays a vital role in the greater effectiveness of these cars.
