The burning of fossil fuels and the emission of greenhouse gases motivates policymakers to think about the transition in their approach towards electric vehicles (EVs) from conventional ones. Transportation vehicles’ electrification drives the attention of various researchers and scientists towards the emergence of charging stations (CSs). CS placement is a matter of great concern for large scale penetration of EVs. Old infrastructure causes several challenges in planning the ideal placement of the CS since EVs have not prevailed in recent years. Recently, a lot of studies have been performed on CS placement, which attracts the attention of researchers. Various approaches, objective functions, constraints and range of optimisation techniques are addressed by researchers for optimal placement of CS. This study provides the research outcomes in respect of the placement of CS over the past few years based on objective functions, solution methods, geographic conditions and demand‐side management.
