Zusammenfassung:An approach is provided for estimating electric vehicle (EV) charge needs among a population in a particular region. A method includes obtaining region-specific information associated with the particular region; wherein the region-specific information includes a number of EV drivers in the particular region. The method includes generating needs prediction data that indicates the EV charge needs among the population by applying the region-specific information to a mobility simulation of electrical vehicle drivers in the particular region; wherein the mobility simulation comprises a plurality of probability distribution functions. The method includes generating, based on the needs prediction data, on a display device of a computing device, a display that suggests a plurality of locations at which to place EV charging stations within the particular region to satisfy the estimated EV charge needs indicated in the needs prediction data.
