Advanced public charging infrastructure key to accelerating electric vehicle adoption.
The study looked at how better public charging stations in cities could help more people switch to electric cars in the U.S. They used computer simulations to see how different levels of charging infrastructure affected people's choices. The results showed that having more charging stations can make more people want to buy electric cars. Also, the impact of charging stations on people's decisions can change based on how easy it is for them to find a charger and how much time they have to charge their cars. But as the charging infrastructure improves, these differences become less important.
