Electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles are the gateway to the future of transportation. The policymakers all around the world are pushing for a transition to electric and hybrid vehicles as soon as possible because of its environment-friendly nature and also reducing dependency on the fossil fuels. But with the introduction of electric vehicles comes the challenge of developing the charging stations (CS). If the transition to smart electric vehicles has to happen, the need to develop smart charging stations becomes even more important. The location, nature and technology used in the charging station will affect the performance and ultimately decide the success of the electric and hybrid vehicles. This paper presents different constraints, optimization techniques and optimal location of the charging stations. This paper provides the comprehensive survey of outcomes obtained in the optimal placement of electric vehicle charging stations.

电动汽车和混合动力汽车是通向未来交通的大门。世界各地的政策制定者都在推动尽快向电动和混合动力汽车过渡，因为它既环保，又可以减少对化石燃料的依赖。但随着电动汽车的推出，充电站 (CS) 的开发面临着挑战。如果必须向智能电动汽车过渡，那么开发智能充电站的需求就变得更加重要。充电站的位置、性质和技术将影响充电站的性能并最​​终决定电动和混合动力汽车的成功。本文介绍了充电站的不同约束、优化技术和最佳位置。
