It is very important for the application of artificial intelligence to accurately and quickly help the electric vehicles to find matching charging facilities. The site selection for electric vehicle charging station (EVCS) is a new field of artificial intelligence application, using artificial intelligence to analyze the current complex urban electric vehicle driving path, and then determining the location of charging stations. This paper proposes a novel hybrid model to decide the location of EVCS. First of all, this paper carries out the flow-refueling location model (FRLM) based on path requirement to determine the site selection of EVCS. Secondly, robust optimization algorithm is used to resolve the location model considering the uncertainty of charging demand. Then, queuing theory, which takes the charging load as a constraint in the location model, is integrated into the model. Last, but not the least, a case is conducted to verify the validity of the proposed model when dealing with location problem. As a result of the above analysis, it is effective to apply robust optimization algorithm and to determine the location of EVCSs effectively when charging demand generated on the path is uncertain. At the same time, queuing theory can help to determine the optimal number of EVCSs effectively, and reduce the cost of building EVCSs.
