Abstract
Recently, improving the infrastructure for Electric vehicles (EVs) has been a major focus of organizations around the world. In this study, we present a service network design framework to improve the infrastructure for EVs with quality-of-service constraints taken into consideration. We present a novel charging station location model with capacity allocation, and we consider the community impact in locating these stations. First, we present descriptive analysis of community impact of charging stations in the United Staes. Then, we highlight how charging times at stations affect the quality of service in the whole service system by quantifying the improvements in flow coverage while reducing waiting times, in addition to maximizing the community impact. The value of faster chargers in increasing coverage and reducing the average waiting times is also highlighted in relation to a service provider’s budget constraints.
