Abstract

Automobiles have always been a crucial part of daily life of individuals. There is exponential increase in the daily commuters majorly in populated countries like India which has highlighted the limitations of conventional fuel-based vehicles in the future due to depleting resources. These fuel based vehicles are also harmful to the environment. The Government of India aims for 30% EV adoption by 2030 through initiatives like FAME-1 and FAME-2 but there is a poor adoption rate of EVs due to high costs and insufficient charging infrastructure that present challenges in adoption. This research proposes a machine learning framework using K-means clustering and HDBSCAN to optimize the placement of new EV charging stations across India by considering the existing infrastructure and socio-economic factors like per capita income, population density, and national highway density. The goal is to minimize waiting times and enhance user convenience, to support the government’s EV adoption targets.
