Optimizing Charging Station Locations for Electric Car-Sharing Systems

Enhancing the performance of one-way electric carsharing systems through the optimum deployment of fast chargers

“…The model was solved for 201 candidate stations, and 1,060 trip requests. Biesinger et al (2017) treated the same location selection and fleet determination problem with a similar two-stage approach which use heuristic solution approaches in both stages. In the first stage a variable neighbourhood search heuristic is used to determine the station locations and the fleet size.…”
