Abstract
While electric Vehicles (EVs) are increasingly being used for last-mile deliveries from distribution centers to customers, their use is limited for middle-mile deliveries between distribution centers due to their shorter cruising range compared to gasoline-powered vehicles. This study develops a large-scale charging station deployment model for the use of EVs for middle-mile delivery. By optimizing the operational cost of EVs and the installation cost of chargers, the trade-off between infrastructure investment and vehicle charging cost will be discussed.
