Finding out the location for EV Charging station is major task as to ensure the adoption of EVs and to address problems like lack of charging infrastructure, risky maintenance, running costs. Charging station availability directly reflects the adoption rate for the EV. Data about the user understanding and adoption behavior of the users were considered along with the data obtained from the NMC. The data obtained will be transformed into the maps using GIS. Key Words: GIS, Electric Vehicles, Site Suitability, Charging Stations, 1. INTRODUCTION India is a vast country and imports about 82.8% of the crude oil and 45.3% of the gas as per the reports provided by Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (PPAC) for such import India spends 111.9 Billion USD. Thus the burning of the oil/gas ultimately result in the environmental hazards like pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. In order to reduce the over dependency on the oil, it is necessary to make the transportation system dependent on renewable sources. One of the major known source is electricity and nowadays major attention is being given to the electric vehicles. Electric Vehicles are more effective, environment friendly with comparatively economical fuel source[2]. In 2017, Government of India has taken major initiative of pushing 6 to 7 million EV’s on road by 2020 and converting all conventional vehicle’s to EV by 2030. But putting this efforts is not returning the result back, considering the lack of the charging stations compared to conventional fuel stations. The gap between this two fuel sources is huge and ultimately affecting the decision making power of the buyer. Government of India pushed major subsidiaries for the customer to buy the EV’s but lack of charging station making it hard to achieve. 1.1 TYPE OF EV’S Electric Vehicle (EV) is a vehicle which mainly work on the electric power which generates torque through motors for the movement. Electric Vehicles exist from the long time but the battery/range issues kept them apart from the major population[1]. With the improvement of the technology the new generation electric vehicles can run up-to 500km in a single charge. Electric Vehicles also have been made compatible with the existing fuel source. They are mainly classified into following categories. A. Battery Electric Vehicle This type of electric vehicles are fully electric motor with rechargeable batteries and do not have any dependency on other fuel sources. The main working is battery powers the motor which generates the torque[6]. BEV do not emit any dangerous emissions. They are charged by the external power supply. Figure 1Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) B. Plug-in hybrid electric Vehicle PHEV’s recharge the battery through regenerating the power and by plugging in into the external power source. Whereas “standard” hybrids will go 1-2 miles before the fuel engine starts[2], PHEV models will go everywhere from 10-40miles earlier then gasoline provides assistance.
