**6. Conclusion**

This research was to develop a multi-factor methodology for identifying optimal locations for installing EV charging stations. A comprehensive geospatial analysis was conducted on multiple input demand factors to develop a scoring system and locate areas that are most frequently used by the driving public. This scoring system was able to calculate a composite score for each location and spatially classify influential

factors to identify suitable locations for EV charging stations. The locations with high, moderate, and low suitability for installing EV charging stations was identified and spatially delineated. The hot spot map of suitable locations can assist decision-makers with developing a strong EV charging station infrastructure. Geospatial analysis plays a vital role in the comprehensive evaluation and determination of the scoring for each input demand factor and thereby identifying optimal locations for installing charging stations.
