Abstract

Transportation systems are undergoing a fundamental transition toward electrification. The shift to electrification, characterized by the widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), the expansion of charging infrastructure, and the integration of renewable energy sources, has the potential to yield significant societal benefits. These include climate change mitigation, alleviation of air pollution, and enhancements in overall human well-being. However, the existing infrastructure related to transportation electrification, particularly in the domain of public chargers, remains inadequate to support this sweeping transition. This insufficiency has led to inconvenient EV charging experiences, impeded the establishment of a comprehensive nationwide charger network, and resulted in disparities in charging accessibility across diverse communities.

About the Project

The project aims to present an in-depth understanding of the public EV charging infrastructure in the present and future transportation electrification for public agencies, such as SCAG. One contribution is […]
