Abstract

We study the problem of locating electric vehicle (EV) charging stations on road networks. We consider that the driving range, i.e. the maximum distance that a fully charged EV can travel before its battery runs empty, is subject to uncertainty and seek to maximize the expected coverage of the recharging demand. We first propose a new mixed-integer linear programming formulation for this stochastic optimization problem and compare it with a previously published one. We then develop a tabu search heuristic procedure to solve large-size instances of the problem. Our numerical experiments show that the new formulation leads to a better performance than the existing one and that the tabu search heuristic provides good quality solutions within short computation times.
