The invention discloses a method for planning electric vehicle charge facilities in a residential area. The method includes steps of determining charge demand of users and the capacity of each charge facility according to travel laws and charge power of the charge facility; determining the connection position of each electric vehicle charge facility in a power distribution network according to a principle that the influence of electric vehicle charge on voltage of the power distribution network is minimized, and determining the charge capacity of each load point. The method has the advantages that travel and charge behavior of the users are simulated by a Monte Carlo simulation process via a probability distribution model of the travel laws of the users, and the optimal quantity of the charge facilities and the optimal capacity of each charge facility are acquired by means of iterative computation under the condition that the charge demand of the users is met, so that the total capacity of the charge facilities is determined; electric vehicle charge loads are connected into the power distribution network according to the structure of the specific power distribution network, iterative computation is carried out, and a group of optimal node capacity vectors is searched to minimize the influence of access of the electric vehicle charge facilities to the power distribution network, so that joints of the electric vehicle charge facilities and the power distribution network and the charge capacity of each joint can be determined.
