AB  - The current increase of electric vehicles in Germany requires an adequately developedcharging infrastructure. Large numbers of public and semi-public charging stations are necessary toensure sufficient coverage. To make the installation worthwhile for the mostly private operators aswell as public ones, a sufficient utilization is decisive. An essential factor for the degree of utilizationis the placement of a charging station. Therefore, the initial site selection plays a critical role in theplanning process. This paper proposes a charging station placement procedure based on real-worlddata on charging station utilization and places of common interest. In the first step, we correlateutilization rates of existing charging infrastructure with places of common interest such as restaurants,shops, bars and sports facilities. This allows us to estimate the untapped potential of unexploitedareas across Germany in a second step. In the last step, we employ the resulting geographicalextrapolation to derive two optimized expansion strategies based on the attractiveness of locationsfor electric vehicle charging.
