Access to charging infrastructure and the propensity to buy an electric car
研究瑞典公共充电设施对消费者选择电动汽车的影响，发现私人充电比公共充电更能促进购买，对政策制定有参考价值。
Policy for supplying charging infrastructure is an important issue for acceleration of car electrification. In Sweden, most early buyers of chargeable vehicles have been residents in detached houses. Residents in apartment buildings have been assessed to be more dependent on public charging. This paper therefore examines how access to public charging affects the probability of buyers to choose a chargeable car. The main result suggests that both private and public charging close to home and work increase the propensity for buyers of private cars to choose a chargeable car, but private charging had a relatively larger impact than existing densities of public charging stations in 2019. The results therefore raises some doubt on the intense focus on providing public charging infrastructure to speed up car traffic electrification, and perhaps more focus could be put on regulating the provision of private charging possibilities for residents in apartment buildings.
