EV Charging Stations are designated locations equipped with the necessary infrastructure to recharge electric vehicles (EVs). These stations provide various types of charging options, including Level 1 (standard household outlets), Level 2 (commercial-grade chargers), and DC fast charging. The purpose of EV charging stations is to facilitate the use of electric vehicles by providing accessible electricity supply, thereby supporting the transition to sustainable transportation and reducing dependence on fossil fuels. The availability and density of charging stations influence the adoption of electric vehicles, as they alleviate range anxiety and ensure that drivers can recharge their vehicles conveniently. Charging stations can be found in various locations such as shopping centers, parking lots, workplaces, and along highways. They often feature payment systems and may provide additional amenities for users while their vehicles charge.
