Summary: This paper analyzes the availability of existing charging infrastructure equipped with fast charging points for electric vehicles in European Union countries and discusses EU policy on zero-emission vehicles and technical issues related to charging infrastructure. Based on a review of the current state of charging infrastructure and development plans in light of the EU Green Deal, it is concluded that the fast charging infrastructure for electric cars is still insufficiently developed in many regions. Due to the economic diversity of EU countries, the development of charging infrastructure varies, highlighting the importance of locating fast charging points primarily along the TEN-T network and highways.

Summary: This study investigated the charging behavior of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and found that most users do not charge their vehicles overnight and engage in additional charging on 20-26% of driving days. The study also indicated that the utility factor should not be the sole measure of PHEV environmental performance.

Summary: The study investigated the daily charging behavior of over 10,000 Chevrolet Volt PHEVs and found that a percentage of users do not charge overnight, while additional charging occurs on 20-26% of driving days. It also concluded that the utility factor should not be the sole measure of environmental performance for PHEVs.

Summary: The ARVF algorithm is an efficient real-time PEV charging control method that utilizes fuzzy logic to adjust charging rates. Research demonstrates that when there is a significant deviation between forecasted and actual baseloads, the real-time capability of ARVF is more advantageous.

Summary: Equitable and sufficient charging infrastructure is crucial for achieving transport decarbonization goals. There is uncertainty in the charging market, specifically regarding disparities in charging placement and the emerging discourse on social equity. This study aims to synthesize evidence on social equity in electric vehicle charging infrastructure provision and suggest ways to address the imbalance, such as local target setting, monetary incentives, and policy interventions. The findings highlight the complexity of the issue and the need to ensure that communities and individuals are not excluded from the benefits of investment.

Summary: This article addresses the cybersecurity challenges associated with the large scale deployment of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) by exploring control-oriented approaches. Two algorithms for detecting cyberattacks on PEV battery packs during charging are discussed, including a static detector and a dynamic detector. A filter-based design approach for the dynamic detector is proposed to consider stability, robustness, and attack sensitivity as multiobjective criteria. Theoretical analysis and simulation studies show the effectiveness of the algorithms in detecting denial-of-charging (DoC) and overcharging attacks, indicating the superiority of the dynamic detector.

Summary: The availability of charging facilities plays a critical role in electric vehicle (EV) adoption. Governments need to consider additional charging facility rollout policies even as the initial lack of charging availability improves. The opinions of conventional internal combustion engine vehicle (ICEV) owners are important in making policy decisions for EV charging facilities, as they may also value their rollout and some may become future EV owners. This study used the contingent valuation method to estimate how ICEV owners' willingness to pay changes under different facility rollout stages and types.

Summary: This study analyzes EV charging data from 3,705 nationwide public Level 2 (L2) and direct current fast charging (DCFC) stations over 2.5 years (2019-2022), observing utilization patterns over time. The study concludes that local EV adoption is a strong indicator of utilization; L2 station utilization decreases with the size of the local charging network, while DCFC stations are less affected; and increased charging power has a greater effect on utilization for DCFC stations than L2. This study fills a critical research gap by reporting updated public charging station utilization statistics and analysis for the U.S. market.

Summary: This paper proposes a system of systems modeling framework for planning charging infrastructure deployment in intercity transportation networks while considering users' travel behavior and coupling relationships between transportation and power systems. A general equilibrium modeling framework is developed to capture the interdependencies among charging infrastructure design, users' travel behaviors, and power sector operations. Numerical experiments based on a semi-realistic case study demonstrate the applicability of the proposed modeling and solution approach.

Summary: This study quantitatively analyzes the factors influencing consumer satisfaction with charging infrastructure using survey data from four first-tier cities in China, identifying the relationships between factors such as age, sensitivity to charging price, driving distance, and preferences for nighttime charging and satisfaction. It also explores consumer preferences for public or private charging infrastructure and the heterogeneity of individual performance.

Summary: Research on equity in EV charging is still in its early stages, with a lack of clear normative evaluations compared to the wider transportation equity literature. Perspectives on charging equity are mainly dominated by North American and European views, with limited perspectives from other regions. There are concerns that charging incentivisation schemes and planning efforts may favor wealthier individuals, and there are differences in charging needs and desires between high and low adoption groups. However, these findings are limited in geographical and philosophical contexts, and there are gaps in the literature for new methodological and topical contributions to this area.
