Abstract: Abstract Transportation and mobility greatly contribute to distribution of goods, freedom of movement, and life quality. However, high traffic volumes, congestion, noise and air pollution, consumption of non-renewable resources, and greenhouse emissions pose significant challenges to sustainability. Electric vehicles (EV) have consequently come into focus for governments and enterprises. However, despite such governmental support and a host of positive market conditions the adoption rates of EVs have fallen short of initial goals. One main shortcoming of EVs today is their limited range. In order to overcome this limitation, strategically placed power supply stations are needed to extend the driving range and comfort the users. The aim of this paper is to provide some insides in the recent developments on the field and to discuss some challenges that should be addressed.
