Abstract

Recently, the use of environmentally friendly electric vehicles instead of traditional internal combustion engine vehicles continues to be widespread due to threats to world life such as global warming and climate change. However, the biggest disadvantages of this technology are the limited range of electric vehicles, long charging times, low number of charging stations, and different charging costs. There is a need for more studies on the problem of finding charging stations, especially for long-distance traveling with electric vehicles. In this paper, a fuzzy logic based decision making system is designed for electric vehicle users to find the most suitable one among the charging stations on a long travelling route. In this study, a traveling route of 1779 km between Izmir and Van provinces in Turkey is selected. The current charging station locations obtained from different charging station companies on this route were processed on Google Earth, and charging stations that were too far from the route were not taken into consideration. A fuzzy logic model was created for 56 charging stations on the route, which performs weight calculation according to the current charging cost and the distance of the station to the normal route. The fuzzy control system is expected to decide on the most appropriate charging station in accordance with the specified rule table, and the results are evaluated.
