Abstract

The electric mobility sector has progressed quickly and, consequently, the need for charging facilities has increased tremendously. Therefore, the question of where to place charging stations has become a major research topic. Nevertheless, the majority of the studies carried out up to now have not incorporated a very important factor fairness regarding the location of charging stations along the network mainly because it directly affects the ease of access and user convenience. So as to close this gap, the current paper introduces a Hybrid Harris Hawk Optimization (HHO) framework integrated with an attention mechanism for determining the optimal places for EV charging stations. The proposed method has given equal importance to different factors like the station distribution, location advantages, and user comfort. Fairness was measured by how evenly the stations were distributed, and user comfort was measured by the overall charging time that users underwent. The hybrid model has succeeded in accomplishing these goals. Therefore, one can say that this method offers a superior and more sophisticated way of planning for EV charging stations.
