An effective distribution of sufficient EV charging stations (CSs) is one of the major obstacles preventing the market penetration of EVs and the realization of a sustainable transportation system in urban areas. In this paper, anew machine learning technique is proposed in order to optimize the placement of EV charging stations (EVCSs) in metropolitan areas based on an energy consumption prediction model. A dataset from 148,136 charging transactions in Boulder, Colorado, is used with the proposed model. Key algorithms such as KNeighborsRegressor and RandomForestRegressor were incorporated to solve the placement problem. The analysis revealed significant demand fluctuations during peak commute hours, with the KNeighborsRegressor model demonstrating superior prediction accuracy. These insights can guide more effective infrastructure planning and resource allocation, ultimately enhancing the efficiency and user experience of EV charging networks and promoting sustainable urban transportation.  \nKEYWORDS  \nelectric vehicle (EV), charging station location analysis, machine learning (ML)  \n1 INTRODUCTION  \nThe rapid adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) necessitates a complementary expansion of charging infrastructure, particularly in major markets such as China, the EU, and the USA. Regional and city-level public policies are crucial for managing EV adoption and charging infrastructure. One significant challenge is the increasing idle time when an EV is connected but not charging. This issue impacts infrastructure size, costs, and availability. Accurate estimation and management of idle time through machine learning (ML) can provide valuable insights for EV users,  \nAlsarhan, A., Alnatsheh, A., Aljaidi, M., Makkawi, T.A., Aljamal, M., Alsarhan, T.
