Fossil fuels cause air pollution and climate change, impacting human health. Mumbai imports and spends heavily on petroleum. Therefore, to reduce the amount of fossil fuel and for mitigating environmental issues, the use of electric vehicles (EVs) is an effective solution. The first priority towards supporting the widespread adoption of EVs is the availability of convenient charging stations. This research aims to delineate the optimal places for new electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS) in study area. The interrelationship of thirteen parameters have been used to determine the Multi Influencing Factor (MIF) weights. These MIF weights were then integrated into Geographical Information System (GIS) for weighted overlay analysis. Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) used to assign ranks based on suitability index values. The result shows that the zone falling between 297.587 to …
