The paper presents a GeoAI framework that uses a variational autoencoder and a graph convolutional network to analyze high‑dimensional geospatial data for electric vehicle charging station location selection. By compressing EV usage, land‑use, population, and traffic attributes into a latent space, the model predicts suitable future station sites and identifies 27 new candidates in Bryan‑College Station, Texas. Two policy scenarios—maximizing geospatial similarity versus minimizing travel distance—demonstrate how different strategic objectives influence station placement outcomes.
arXiv:2405. 00742v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Mitigating cybersecurity risk in electric vehicle (EV) charging demand forecasting plays a crucial role in the safe operation of collective EV chargings, the stability of the power grid, and the cost-effective infrastructure expansion.
The Traffic Assignment Problem is a fundamental but computationally expensive component of transportation planning. While Graph Neural Networks have emerged as fast, data-driven surrogates, their practical deployment is severely constrained by a spatial generalization gap.

The paper introduces a conditional variational autoencoder (CVAE) to generate synthetic electric vehicle (EV) charging sessions from real transaction-level data. It trains on engineered features such as plug‑in duration, charging duration, delivered energy, charging delay, and cyclical time‑of‑week, conditioning on day of week and managed charging status. Evaluation shows the synthetic data preserves key statistical properties and supports predictive modelling tasks via a Train‑on‑Synthetic‑Test‑on‑Real protocol.
