Abstract

I demonstrate that a region’s economic specialization is a critical determinant of electric vehicle (EV) charging station access, particularly in rural areas. Specifically, recreation-dependent economies have more public charging stations. In a national analysis, I show U.S. recreation counties are 21 percent more likely to have a public station and nonmetropolitan recreation counties are 27 percent more likely. In California, I demonstrate this relationship spills into the EV market: those within zip codes with ten percent higher recreation employment share purchase 2.3 more EVs as a result of improved charging infrastructure. The upshot is that communities that are not recreation dependent experience less charging investment, limiting EV adoption and making decarbonization goals more difficult in regions where people drive more and in more polluting vehicles. The results highlight how an uneven charging network can lead to uneven EV adoption, risking that many of the poorest communities may miss out on long-term benefits from electric vehicles.

经济专业化、基础设施和农村电动汽车的采用
我的研究表明,一个地区的经济专业化程度是决定电动汽车(EV)充电站使用情况的关键因素,尤其是在农村地区。具体来说,依赖娱乐业的经济体拥有更多的公共充电站。在一项全国性分析中,我发现美国休闲县拥有公共充电站的可能性要高出 21%,而非大都市休闲县则高出 27%。在加利福尼亚州,我证明了这种关系在电动汽车市场的影响:由于充电基础设施的改善,娱乐业就业比例高出 10% 的邮政编码内的人多购买了 2.3 辆电动汽车。其结果是,不依赖娱乐业的社区充电投资较少,限制了电动汽车的采用,使人们驾驶污染更严重的车辆的地区更难实现去碳化目标。研究结果突显了不均衡的充电网络会如何导致电动汽车采用率的不均衡,从而使许多最贫困的社区有可能错失电动汽车带来的长期利益。

期刊介绍: Energy policy is the manner in which a given entity (often governmental) has decided to address issues of energy development including energy conversion, distribution and use as well as reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in order to contribute to climate change mitigation. The attributes of energy policy may include legislation, international treaties, incentives to investment, guidelines for energy conservation, taxation and other public policy techniques. Energy policy is closely related to climate change policy because totalled worldwide the energy sector emits more greenhouse gas than other sectors.
