Abstract: Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming a viable solution to solve of vehicular greenhouse gas emissions. Despite the benefits of EVs, some obstacles must be solved before they can be widely adopted. However, there are significant social, technical, and economic obstacles to widespread EV adoption, mainly about lacking charging infrastructure. The growth of EVs in the future will be followed by the increased number of public charging facilities. Therefore, assessing the suitable location of electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS) is an essential requirement improving the public acceptability of EV and support the implementation of EV. This research aims to create a conceptual framework for identifying optimal locations for the deployment of EVCS. In addition, understanding how to determine location of charging stations and what factors affect the selection can help stakeholders accurately identify cause and effect relationships to provide credible recommendations for both charging service providers and government decisions.

Keywords: electric vehicle; location; charging station.
