Given an actual or hypothetical network and an expected number of electric vehicle trips,

formulate a model and solve the model to determine the optimal locations for charging stations

to minimize the total network travel time. Make realistic assumptions about the number of

chargers available at each station and charging time. Present, analyze, and discuss the results

for different numbers of stations that can be built.

Deliverables

$$ A written report consisting of an Introduction that explains the problem and necessary

background information, a Methods section that describes in detail the mathematical model

along with any other necessary assumptions, and a Results and Discussion section that presents

and discusses the results. The methods section should include notations, parameters, sets,

decision variables, objective function, and constraints of the model.
