Public Charging Infrastructure and Electric Vehicles in Norway: Replication Files

This repository allows for the replication of all calculations presented in "Public Charging Infrastructure and Electric Vehicles in Norway", written by Schulz, F. and Rode, J., forthcoming in Energy Policy (doi: TBD).

We study whether public charging infrastructure drives battery electric vehicle adoption. The data provided includes granular, annual information on the location of public charging infrastructure and the battery electric vehicle ownership rate across 356 Norwegian LAU-2 municipalities between 2009 and 2019. We find, on average, an increase of the local electric vehicle ownership rate by 1.5 percentage points or 200% over 5 years. While we cannot fully rule out reverse effects, we identify public charging infrastructure to serve as a stimulus to the diffusion of battery electric vehicles.

Further information on how one can use the scripts provided can be found in the readme-file.

本存储库允许复制 Schulz, F. 与 Rode, J. 撰写的即将发表在《能源政策》（doi: TBD）上的论文《挪威公共充电基础设施与电动汽车》中呈现的所有计算。本研究旨在探讨公共充电基础设施是否推动了纯电动汽车的普及。提供的数据包括公共充电基础设施位置和356个挪威LAU-2级行政区在2009年至2019年间的年度细分信息。研究发现，平均而言，五年内本地纯电动汽车拥有率增长了1.5个百分点，或200%。尽管我们不能完全排除反向影响，但我们确信公共充电基础设施是推动纯电动汽车扩散的激励因素。有关如何使用提供的脚本的详细信息，可在readme文件中找到。
