    Availability and reliability of public electric vehicle charging infrastructure is an important factor for EV adoption. Professors Alex Jacquillat and Dan Freund provide an overview of their findings from an MIT Mobility Initiative research project that leverages computer vision and optimization to support public EV charging infrastructure within a dense urban context. Where can EV charging stations be feasibly located? Should fewer charging stations be offered each with more charging ports, or should more charging stations be offered each with fewer ports? Where should urban EV chargers be located? What is the ideal charging speed (power level)? This work focuses on the immediate neighborhood of Corktown in Detroit, Michigan, with support from Michigan Central.
