Abstract:
Los Angeles County’s electric-vehicle (EV) charging-station infrastructure is growing rapidly due to increased environmental awareness. Implementing city-wide infrastructure is costly, and funding is limited. Spatial analysis can offer useful insights by visualizing existing EV charging-station infrastructure along with several other factors to determine where and how many EV charging stations are needed. Uneven EV charging-station availability complicates consumers’ decisions to switch to driving EV. This analysis examines the uneven distribution of EV charging stations, the demand for more charging stations, and the EV-to-charger ratio to fill in the spatial discrepancies with charging stations in Los Angeles County.
