Site Suitability Assessment of Public EV Charging Stations in Urban Environment

In the recent years, shifting from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to electric vehicles (EV) can be seen. Even though EV deployment is the most viable solution to reduce Green House Gas (GHG), there are several challenges. One of the ongoing challenges is the misalignment of charging supply and demand. With the increasing EV adoption, the public EV charging network is deemed to be inadequate in Ottawa. In this paper, we put forward a methodology for locating suitable sites for EV charging stations in Ottawa, that combines Geographic Information System (GIS) technique and Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) method. We have also created web application for determining location-based site suitability of EV charging station in Ottawa. Outcomes show that our web App can effectively provide appropriate suitability rating for any given location within Ottawa region.
