The site selection of charging stations

which is hugely important for the development of electric vehicles

is a multi-criteria decision making problem. The extended interactive and multi-criteria decision making method in an uncertain linguistic environment is proposed for the charging station site selection. The analytical network process(ANP)method is adopted to measure the correlation of the indicators

and interactive and the multi-criteria decision making method combined with the cloud model is employed for transforming the linguistic information and the ranking value of each alternative is obtained. Finally

the proposed model and calculation method are verified using a case study. All endeavors are helpful to achieving the target as shown by the maneuverability and rationality of charging station site selection.
