With the popularity of electric vehicles, the supply of charging facilities is becoming urgent. The rational layout of urban charging facilities will help to promote the development of the electric vehicle industry and effectively protect the urban ecological environment. By analyzing the development trend and layout concept of electric vehicle charging facilities, this paper puts forward the planning mode, technical process, demand forecast and planning layout method of urban charging facilities. This idea and method are applied to the planning and design of charging facilities in the central urban area of Quanjiao County, Anhui Province. The planning results show that the corresponding demand forecasting and planning layout methods can provide technical support for improving the supporting construction and spatial layout practice of such charging facilities.
