Abstract
An apparatus, method and computer program product are provided for determining a location for deploying an electric vehicle charging unit (EVCU). In one example, an apparatus divides a zone into a plurality of subregions and causes a machine learning model to output a probability of which an EVCU is needed at each of the plurality of subregion based on one or more attributes associated with the subregion. The apparatus generates one or more clusters within the zone, where each of the one or more clusters include one or more of the plurality of subregions. The apparatus calculates a value for each of the one or more clusters based on the probability associated with each subregion within said cluster. The apparatus selects one of the one or more clusters based on the value and assigns a location within the one of the one or more clusters for deploying the EVCU.
