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.

揭示电动汽车销售与充电基础设施之间的双向联系：来自中国 95 个城市的证据。

建设电动汽车充电桩（EVCP）对促进电动汽车（EV）销售至关重要。然而，有关电动汽车销售与公共电动汽车充电桩之间双向关系的实证证据非常有限，大多数相关研究都是通过模拟来进行的。我们使用面板向量自回归（PVAR）对 2018 年至 2022 年中国 95 个城市的这一关系进行了实证研究。结果显示，EVCPs 极大地促进了电动汽车的销售，尤其是在寒冷地区。较高的空气污染和购车补贴抑制了电动汽车销售对 EVCPs 的促进作用。在房价较高的地区，EVCPs 对电动汽车销售的促进作用受到削弱。EVCPs与电池电动汽车（BEV）的销售之间存在重要的正向双向关系，但与插电式混合动力电动汽车（PHEV）之间不存在这种关系。我们的研究结果对利益相关者具有启示意义，例如在较低温度下建设快速充电基础设施，以及需要解决不同动力系统的电动汽车的差异化充电需求。

期刊介绍： Science has many big remaining questions. To address them, we will need to work collaboratively and across disciplines. The goal of iScience is to help fuel that type of interdisciplinary thinking. iScience is a new open-access journal from Cell Press that provides a platform for original research in the life, physical, and earth sciences. The primary criterion for publication in iScience is a significant contribution to a relevant field combined with robust results and underlying methodology. The advances appearing in iScience include both fundamental and applied investigations across this interdisciplinary range of topic areas. To support transparency in scientific investigation, we are happy to consider replication studies and papers that describe negative results. We know you want your work to be published quickly and to be widely visible within your community and beyond. With the strong international reputation of Cell Press behind it, publication in iScience will help your work garner the attention and recognition it merits. Like all Cell Press journals, iScience prioritizes rapid publication. Our editorial team pays special attention to high-quality author service and to efficient, clear-cut decisions based on the information available within the manuscript. iScience taps into the expertise across Cell Press journals and selected partners to inform our editorial decisions and help publish your science in a timely and seamless way.
