Faster: a site-selection methodology for journey EV chargers

Establishing sites for publicly accessible electric vehicle charging equipment is a challenge facing local authorities across Scotland. To date, this process has predominantly been an ad-hoc, funding dependent activity aimed at providing a nationwide network of chargers. The FASTER project seeks to deploy 73 journey chargers across Northern Ireland, the border region of the Republic of Ireland and the west coast of Scotland. This paper presents the methodology developed for siting 24 ‘rapid’ DC journey chargers in Scotland.
