Abstract
Amid the global shift towards sustainable development, this study addresses the burgeoning electric vehicle (EV) market and its infrastructure challenges, particularly the lag in public charging facility development. Focusing on Wuhan, it utilizes big data to analyze EV charging behavior’s spatiotemporal aspects and the urban environment’s influence on charging efficiency. Employing a random forest regression and multiscale geographically weighted regression (MGWR), the research elucidates the nonlinear interaction between urban infrastructure and charging station usage. Key findings include (1) a direct correlation between EV charging patterns and urban temporal factors, with notable price elasticity; (2) the predominant influence of commuting distance, supplemented by the availability of fast-charging options; and (3) a strategic proposal for increasing slow-charging facilities at key urban locations to balance operational costs and user demand. The study combines spatial analysis and charging behavior to recommend enhancements in public EV charging infrastructure layouts.
