Abstract:
Constructing electric vehicle charging piles (EVCPs) is crucial for promoting electric vehicle (EV) sales. Yet, empirical evidence on the bidirectional relationship between EV sales and public EVCPs is limited, with most related works relying on simulations. We empirically investigate this relationship using panel vector autoregression (PVAR) across 95 Chinese cities from 2018 to 2022. Results show EVCPs significantly boost EV sales, especially in colder regions. Higher air pollution and purchase subsidies inhibit the promoting impact of EV sales on EVCPs. The propelling effect of EVCPs on EV sales is impaired in higher housing prices regions. A significant and positive bidirectional relationship exists between EVCPs and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) sales exists, but not with plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) present. Our findings have implications for stakeholders, such as the construction of fast charging infrastructure under lower temperatures, and differentiated charging demands of EVs with different powertrains need to be addressed.

Electric Potential and Potential Difference
When a test charge moves from the initial to the final position, the electric potential difference between those positions is defined as the ratio of the change in the potential energy to the charge on the...

Charging Conductors By Induction
Generally, conductors like metals do not allow any excess charge to be present on them. Any excess charge added to metals easily flows away, for example, when a metal is placed on the Earth. This process is called earthing.
However, conductors can be charged by a process called induction. For example, consider charging a...
Multiple Voltage Sources
In series, the positive terminal of one battery is connected to the negative terminal of another battery. Hence, the voltage of each battery is added to give the net voltage, which is increased because each battery boosts the electrons that enter it. The same current flows through each battery because they are connected in series.
Batteries are...
