As electric vehicles are gaining momentum, the issue of locating and securing the availability, efficiency and effectiveness of charging infrastructure becomes a complex question that needs to be addressed. This paper presents the structure and application of a model developed for optimizing the distribution of charging infrastructure for electric buses in the urban context, and tests the model for the bus network of Stockholm. The major public bus transport hubs connecting to the train and subway system show the highest concentration of locations chosen by the model for charging station installation. The costs estimated are within an expected range when comparing to the annual bus public transport costs in Stockholm. The model could be adapted for various urban contexts to promptly assist in the transition to fossil-free bus transport. The total costs for the operation of a partially electrified bus system in both optimization cases considered (cost and energy) differ only marginally from the costs for a 100% biodiesel system. This indicates that lower fuel costs for electric buses can balance the high investment costs incurred in building charging infrastructure, while achieving a reduction of up to 51% in emissions and up to 34% in energy use in the bus fleet. date: 2017-05 date_type: published publisher: Elsevier id_number: 10.1016/j.trc.2017.03.005 creators_browse_id: 2824 creators_browse_id: 175 creators_browse_id: 2853 creators_browse_id: 165 full_text_status: public publication: Transportation Research Part C: Emerging Technologies volume: 78 pagerange: 183-200 refereed: TRUE issn: 0968090X projects: Delivery of sustainable supply of non-food biomass to support a “resource-efficient” Bioeconomy in Europe (S2BIOM, FP7 608622) coversheets_dirty: FALSE fp7_project: yes fp7_project_id: info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/608622/EU/Delivery of sustainable supply of non-food biomass to support a “resource-efficient” Bioeconomy in Europe/S2BIOM fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/article access_rights: info:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccess citation: Xylia, M. , Leduc, S. , Patrizio, P. , Kraxner, F. , & Silveira, S.
