Abstract

Developing technology and population growth increase energy demand. The limited natural resources and their negative environmental effects increase the interest in alternative energy sources. The decrease in oil resources and the environmental problems caused by these resources have increased the studies for electric vehicles. This study presents descriptive statistics on the charging station locations for electric vehicles and relationships between studies by author, country, citation, and occurrence. This will provide a way for researchers to obtain detailed information about their studies into the locations of electric vehicle charging stations. This study examined 212 studies in the “Web of Science” database from 2011 to 2022. Network analysis was conducted in this research using the Vosviewer and R software. In this context, descriptive statistics are first provided. In the section on descriptive statistics, basic facts about the studies are shown along with the annual scientific output, the most productive countries, the total number of citations per country, country collaboration, the most productive countries and authors, and the total number of citations per country. Since the second half of 2010, there has been an increasing trend in the number of publications on the positioning of electric vehicle charging stations. It is seen that most of the studies on the positioning of electric vehicle charging stations were also carried out in China, India and the USA. The analyses of document co-occurrence, bibliographic coupling, and co-citation are presented in the second section. It has been observed that the most frequently used keywords in studies related to the location of electric vehicle charging stations are optimization, sustainability and distribution systems.
