Planning of charging stations for electric vehicles (EVs) is the foundation of EV’s promotion and development. A novel multi-objective optimization model is proposed in this paper to better locate and size the charging stations for EVs from given alternative sites. Economic costs of charging station and the time wasted in waiting for charging are minimized in the model. The capacity constraints of the charging stations are included as main constraints. Pareto front is used to compare and estimate the practical value of the current substation locating and sizing plans. A calculation method based on rasterization and Voronoi diagram is proposed to make it clear where the jurisdiction of each charging station ends. Finally, the proposed model and calculation method are verified using case study.
