Electric vehicles (EVs) are an effective solution for reducing reliance on non-renewable energy sources. However, the lack of charging infrastructure and concerns over their range are some of the biggest hurdles to adopting EVs. Charging infrastructure for EVs is, however, on the rise. Proper planning of charging stations vis-à-vis road networks and related points of interest such as transportation hubs, schools, shopping centres, etc., alongside such roads become vital to laying out a plan for such infrastructure, particularly for developing countries like India where EV adoption is relatively in a nascent stage. Synthetic datasets can help overcome these hurdles and promote EV adoption. This article presents a synthetic dataset mechanism for EV charging infrastructure planning, taking the Indian city of Berhampur, Odisha with its existiing EV charging infrastructure as a reference. The dataset includes information on …
