Identifying Suitable Locations of Electric Vehicle (EV) Chargers in Quezon City using Geographic Information System (GIS)


Electric vehicles are widely used by different countries to address the environmental issues of the transport sector. However, one of the formidable considerations, in order to sustain this type of infrastructure, is the availability of electric vehicle charging stations based on the service area. This paper aims to identify a suitable location for EV chargers in Quezon using network analysis and the location-allocation model. In this model, the existing location of EV chargers, gasoline stations, roads, and TODA routes were processed, considered, and scrutinized to develop a GIS map. Furthermore, various related literatures were reviewed and analyzed to support the viability of the proposed locations for the two new charging stations. This study showed that the installation of the two new electric vehicle charging stations would provide wider coverage of service area. Thus, this will entail the sustainability of the e-trike projects in Quezon City.
