(1) Background: Spatial layout is the key to the construction and development of new energy vehicle charging stations; (2) Methods: A network analysis method is used to build the new energy vehicle charging station network, design network indicators, analyze the structural characteristics of new energy vehicle charging stations based on the local nodes and the overall structure of the network, and identify the key nodes and important parts of the network; (3) Results: Taking the new energy vehicle charging station in Jinan City of Shandong Province as an example, the empirical analysis is carried out. The empirical results show that the new energy vehicle charging station network constructed in this paper and the network indicators designed can effectively describe the layout of new energy vehicle charging stations, identifying key stations and important parts of the network; (4) Conclusions: This provides a theoretical basis for further improving the utilization rate of charging stations and the reasonable planning of new energy vehicle charging stations. It provides an idea and method for the research on the layout of charging stations for new energy vehicles.
