Abstract
Accelerating EV adoption is crucial in reducing carbon emissions. To support EV penetration and minimize waste, we analyzed real-world charging status big data in a high-density city heavily reliant on public charging infrastructure. Using a two-part spatial lag of X model, we investigated the impact of charging station attributes and the surrounding built environment on the utilization rates, defined as the ratio of occupied (fast/slow) charging piles to the total available (fast/slow) piles at each station. Our findings reveal that fast charging stations located outdoors, sheltered, and near major roads attract more users, while these factors do not significantly affect the slow utilization rate. Utilization rates are higher for fast charging stations surrounded by a diverse land use mix, while the opposite is observed for slow charging stations. These findings provide valuable insights for the effective operation of charging infrastructure, furthering the development of the new-energy market and sustainable transportation.
加快电动汽车的普及对减少碳排放至关重要。为了支持电动汽车的普及并最大限度地减少浪费,我们在一个严重依赖公共充电基础设施的高密度城市分析了真实世界的充电状态大数据。我们使用一个由两部分组成的 X 空间滞后模型,研究了充电站属性和周围建筑环境对利用率的影响,利用率定义为每个充电站被占用(快/慢)充电桩与总可用(快/慢)充电桩的比率。我们的研究结果表明,位于室外、有遮挡和靠近主干道的快速充电站能吸引更多用户,而这些因素对慢速充电站的利用率影响不大。快速充电站周围的土地利用组合多样化,因此利用率更高,而慢速充电站的情况恰恰相反。这些发现为充电基础设施的有效运营提供了宝贵的启示,促进了新能源市场和可持续交通的发展。
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.
