Application of the entropy-DEMATEL-VIKOR multicriteria decision-making method in public charging infrastructure

As an energy-saving and environmentally friendly means of transportation, electric vehicles have been advocated and promoted by various countries, resulting in an increase in the number of electric vehicles. The improvement of public charging infrastructure not only drives the development of the ele...
