STUDY ON SITE SELECTION OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES CHARGING STATIONS IN URBAN AREA

摘要

With a series of advantages such as high energy efficiency, less exhaust emissions, low noise and simple structure, electric vehicle (EV) which is broadly promoted by government, becomes one of the most important means to alleviate the energy and environmental problems. As the energy provider of EVs, electric vehicle charging station (EVCS) could be one of the main factors restricting the development and the popularization of EVs. The reasonable and effective site selection of EVCS is a prerequisite for the rapid development of the EV industry, as well as a promotion to the widespread use by public. In this paper, based on sustainable development theory, feasibility study of new energy facility construction project, state and local government regulations on site selection and construction of energy infrastructure, literature reviews of domestic and foreign experts, thinking about the conditions before construction and impacts after construction, the primary 24 indexes affecting EVCS site selection are obtained. Finally, an evaluation index hierarchy model of EVCS site selection is formed by optimizing the primary indicators through questionnaire survey and statistical principal component analysis (PCA). The evaluation index hierarchy model not only gives ideas for government departments to develop and build such projects, but also provides a reference for related contractors and operating enterprises.
