**5. Conclusions**

The daily increase in the number of EVs brings in a big challenge for the planning of charging stations. In order to deal with the placement issues of EV charging stations, this chapter presents an optimized model for locating fastcharging stations using the EV trajectories reconstructed from simulation. In this model, battery degradation, the range of electric vehicle, traffic congestion conditions and especially vehicles traffic flow have considered to determine the optimal locations for the fast-charging station network. This is a quick and efficient way to solve the location problem of fast-charging stations. However, this approach is based on the assumption that the EVs will take the route derived from the simulation, which can be veriï¬ed. under the connected vehicle environment in the future. It can also be further improved if more research can be carried out to investigate the deployment of the local institutional and spatial settings.
