Abstract
A Combined Planning and Design approach (CPD) for a Public Charging Infrastructure (PCI) for Electric Vehicles (EVs) is presented in this paper. The aim is defining the displacement of charging infrastructures for easing early EV diffusion. The proposed CPD consists in a traffic/parking model that estimates the charging demand of potential EV owners for a given scenario. A coarse distribution of Charging Stations (CSs) over the selected Zones of Interest (ZOIs) is achieved at first, by taking into account the charging demand coverage. Subsequently, PCI structure is further and sequentially refined in order to comply with both urban and power system constraints, by minimizing installation cost at the same time. The proposed CPD is being employed for designing the PCI of the Italian island of Sardinia in order to support the adoption of EVs for commuting; its effectiveness is shown by some preliminary results that refer to a portion of the overall PCI.
