Abstract

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.

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.
