摘要
The utilization of electric vehicle (EV) charging equipment is a key driver of charging station economics, but current trends and factors related to the utilization of public charging infra-structure in the United States are not well understood. This study analyzes EV charging data from 3,705 nationwide public Level 2 (L2) and direct current fast charging (DCFC) stations over 2.5 years (2019-2022), observing utilization patterns over time. Regression analysis is used to assess the relationships between station utilization and several contextual and environmental factors. We conclude that local EV adoption is a strong indicator of utilization; L2 station utilization decreases with the size of the local charging network, while DCFC stations are less affected; and increased charging power has a greater effect on utilization for DCFC stations than L2. This study fills a critical research gap by reporting updated public charging station utilization statistics and analysis for the U.S. market.
