Abstract: Electric vehicles (EVs), as part of sustainable transport, are believed to be helpful to reduce global warming. In this article, we focus on the fast-charging station (FCS) deployment problem, which is one of the key issues of the EV ecosystem. Specifically, elastic demand is considered, i.e., charging demand will be suppressed because of either long driving distance to get charging or long waiting time at the station. A fixed-point equation is proposed to capture the nature of the EV users’ charging behavior. It considers both spatial and te...
