Abstract

The problem of determining the optimal number and location of charging stations for electric transport within the settlement is being studied. To solve this problem, the criteria, factors and limitations of the optimal placement of charging stations were defined. Since the task included ensuring the comfortable operation of electric cars by citizens until 2025, it was necessary to forecast the number of electric cars that will be registered in the town of Cherkasy. For this, a portrait of the potential consumer was drawn up, and the potential capacity of the transport market was determined. Also, the key points of concentration of potential customers were determined, the level of charging stations for electric vehicles that will ensure their operation in the town of Cherkasy was selected, and the calculation of the optimal number of charging stations for the South-Western district of Cherkasy was performed. Since there are no regulations regarding the required number of charging stations for a certain fleet, it was proposed to adapt the regulations for gas stations by making corrections regarding the features of the technical charging process and the number of electric vehicle charges per unit of time. With the help of the method of hierarchical clustering, demand points in charging stations for electric cars were determined and a map of their location was developed for the residents of the South-Western district of Cherkasy. The cost of this project was also calculated. It can be concluded that the implementation of the project to provide charging stations for electric cars is profitable both from the point of view of material investments and from the point of view of the occupied useful area of town parking lots. The administration of Cherkasy may be interested in the implementation of this project under the terms of the city development program. This is due to the fact that the implementation of this project is expected to improve the town's environmental situation, generate profit from charging electric cars and sell new electric cars at car dealerships.
