Abstract

Electric-Drive Vehicle Fleets need proper charging infrastructure available in the area of operation. The number of potential locations can be quite large with differing costs for preparation, installations, operation and maintenance. We consider a planning approach based on vehicle movement scenarios. Given a large set of vehicle movements and parking activities, we search for a cost minimal subset of all charging locations subject to proper supply of all vehicles.
