Highlights The study measured accessibility to electric vehicle charging location in the city of Windsor, Ontario. It evaluates the impact of the existing and newly proposed electric vehicle charging station locations on accessibility at the city’s ward level. It used methods such as point-in-polygon analysis, floating catchment area analysis (FCA), and network-level travel time analysis to understand variations in accessibility throughout the city's wards, considering both the existing stations and a combination of existing and new stations. The point-in-polygon method tends to overestimate accessibility of wards with low populations where kinetic (affluents) reside. This could lead to improper identification of wards that are accessible to charging stations and mis-prioritization of wards for new charging stations. FCA and network-level travel time coupled with multiple criteria decision-making analysis suggests that few of the city of Windsor's wards will reap the benefits of introducing new stations. This is because the median travel times from the wards to the stations did not change significantly, and a larger variation exists around the median times, which suggests that the introduction of new stations are random rather than planned.

    Abstract The paper evaluates the impact of the new additional electric vehicle (EV) charging stations on accessibility to charging in the city of Windsor Ontario. It uses locations and coordinates information of electric vehicle charging stations extracted from the Environmental Canada database combined with details of the new additions by the city, manually abstracted from publications and google. These were spatially aggregated into the city’s Ward along with demographic and stations-per-Ward determined. Point-in-polygon, floating catchment area - FCA, and network level (travel-time) methods were used to understand variations in accessibility across Wards of the city, considering the existing and a combination of existing and new stations. The study found that the point-in-polygon method tends to overestimate the accessibility of Wards with a low population where kinetic (affluents) resides and could lead to improper identification of Wards highly accessible to charging. Findings from FCA and network accessibility methods highlights caution with the use of the point-in-polygon method which favors low-populated areas. Accessibility analysis using FCA, and network level (travel-time) technique revealed that the addition of new stations in the city does not significantly change accessibility levels. The study found that only a few Wards in the city of Windsor will be benefited from the addition of new stations as the median travel times from Wards to stations did not reduce significantly and larger variations exist around the median times suggesting that the new stations are randomly introduced rather than planned. Multicriteria analysis however aided in ranking of Wards based on available charging infrastructures, EV owned, travel time to stations and population density per Ward. The paper recommends data-driven machine learning approach in measuring accessibility and locating charging infrastructures in the city.
