Abstract: A novel model for the charging station location problem of plug-in electric vehicles is proposed in this paper. With the objective of minimizing the total cost, the proposed model simultaneously handles the problem of where to locate the charging stations and how many chargers should be established in each charging station. Furthermore, the model is expanded to consider a more general case. A genetic algorithm-based method is proposed for solving the expanded model. The results show that a better location scheme can be obtained using the expanded model.
