Abstract
The optimal deployment of public charging infrastructure is critical to the popularisation of electric vehicles (EVs) in high-density cities. Existing studies on public EV charging facilities have rarely integrated government policy and spatial constraints into their optimisation algorithms. To address this research gap, we proposed a contextualised EV charger optimisation model that incorporates carefully derived supply-and-demand constraints and tested it in the case of Hong Kong. From the supply side, we studied the latest planning guidelines and conducted a spatial analysis of potential charging sites. From the demand side, we conducted a questionnaire survey with local residents, estimated their EV purchase intention using a generalised ordered probit model, and then projected the usage demand for public chargers. These supply-and-demand constraints were subsequently incorporated into a location-allocation model to minimise both charging demand shortfall and travel time to charging facilities. We also conducted sensitivity analyses with varying budget, charging demand and facility service radius. Based on our results, we made several key recommendations regarding the spatial planning of public EV charging facilities in our high-density context: (1) the existing charging network should be substantially expanded to meet the projected demand; (2) the charging network should be expanded beyond the central business district and the urban core into other urban neighbourhoods and suburbs; and (3) installing more chargers at existing charging stations is more economical than building new stations. Our research provides an important reference for the spatial planning and deployment strategies for public EV charging infrastructure in high-density cities.
