The demand and proliferation for electric vehicle charging stations

Abstract

Because of the renewable nature of electric energy, many countries have begun to develop the electric vehicle industry and achieved remarkable results. After conducting an investigation into the field of EVs (Electric Vehicles), we analyzed the basic situation, quantity, development status and government policies of the EVs nowadays. Based on the analysis of the charging stations and EVs, a model was set up for the corresponding charging station construction programs and promotion methods, for the purpose of predicting future trends. Based on the knowledge of complex networks, we discovered that the overall development of EVs resembles the global spread of viruses. We use the model to give a time forecast of the complete conversion from gasoline vehicles and diesel vehicles into EVs in each country.
