Abstract
The selection of electric vehicle (EV) charging station locations is a critical challenge that significantly affects the growth and acceptance of the EV industry. As EVs offer a sustainable solution to fossil fuel depletion and environmental pollution, identifying optimal charging station sites involves dealing with uncertain, inconsistent, and conflicting criteria. To address these challenges, this paper presents an innovative decision-making framework based on Hesitant Bipolar-Valued Fuzzy Sets (HBVFSs), which account for both positive and negative hesitant membership values to better model uncertainty in expert judgments. A novel hybrid Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) technique is proposed, combining the Step-wise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA) and Pivot Pairwise Relative Criteria Importance Assessment (PIPRECIA) methods to determine robust criteria weights within the HBVFS environment. The Preference Ranking Organization METHod for Enrichment Evaluation II (PROMETHEE-II) is employed for the final site ranking. This integrated approach enables a more comprehensive and reliable evaluation of potential locations by incorporating both qualitative and quantitative factors. The proposed methodology has practical applications in real-world infrastructure planning and supports more resilient decision-making in sustainable transportation networks. The results demonstrate the model’s effectiveness and adaptability in addressing the site selection problem under uncertainty.
