Abstract

The success of electric vehicle (EV) adoption greatly depends on spatial deployment of charging infrastructure. However, existing literature often overlooks the spatial cross-side network effect (SCNE) of infrastructure on EV adoption. Using the quarterly panel data of Tesla in the United States (US), this study reveals that EV adoption in one state would increase by 5.75% and 1.09% if the charging accessibility increases by 1% in this state and its neighboring states respectively. Furthermore, such effect is heterogeneous between Tesla’s superchargers (SC) and destination charging (DC) stations, in that only accessibility to SC stations can significantly drive vehicle adoption across neighboring states. Moreover, the SCNE of DC stations on vehicle adoption can be amplified if the neighboring states are positioned more centrally in the US interstate highway network. We offer managerial and policy implications for businesses and governments to promote the adoption of EVs by developing the spatially deployed infrastructure.

充电站对电动汽车应用的空间交叉网络效应

电动汽车（EV）的成功应用在很大程度上取决于充电基础设施的空间部署。然而，现有文献往往忽视了基础设施对电动汽车采用的空间交叉网络效应（SCNE）。本研究利用特斯拉在美国的季度面板数据，发现如果一个州及其邻近州的充电便利性提高 1%，该州的电动汽车采用率将分别提高 5.75% 和 1.09%。此外，这种效应在特斯拉超级充电站（SC）和目的地充电站（DC）之间具有异质性，即只有 SC 充电站的可及性才能显著推动邻近各州的汽车采用率。此外，如果相邻州在美国州际高速公路网络中的位置更加集中，那么直流充电桩对汽车采用率的影响就会放大。我们为企业和政府提供了管理和政策方面的启示，以通过发展空间部署基础设施来促进电动汽车的采用。

期刊介绍： Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment focuses on original research exploring the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to these impacts, and their implications for transportation system design, planning, and management. The journal comprehensively covers the interaction between transportation and the environment, ranging from local effects on specific geographical areas to global implications such as natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution. We welcome research papers across all transportation modes, including maritime, air, and land transportation, assessing their environmental impacts broadly. Papers addressing both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered. The journal prioritizes empirical findings and policy responses of regulatory, planning, technical, or fiscal nature. Articles are policy-driven, accessible, and applicable to readers from diverse disciplines, emphasizing relevance and practicality. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions and welcome contributions from economically developing and advanced countries alike, reflecting our international orientation.
