Analysis on Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure and Government Strategy

The necessity and urgency of electric vehicle charging infrastructure were analyzed as starting points in this paper. Then quasi-public and quasi-operational characteristics of charging infrastructure were defined,and it was demonstrated that the diversification of charging infrastructure builders,including government,is essential and feasible. On the basis of international and domestic experiences,the role of government as investment financing policy maker and necessary financial subsidy supporter was proposed. Finally,main strategies for government were suggested,including improving overall strategic awareness of charging infrastructure,strengthening assisting for externality research,promoting diversification of builders,improving the subsidy mechanism and reinforcing regulation and macro guidance for local government.
