Entry and Coordination in the U.S. Electric Vehicle Charging Industry 1: Tufts University; 2: HEC Montreal, Canada This paper evaluates the efficiency of market location choices for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. The charging industry is central to electrifying the transportation sector and receives billions of dollars in government support. However, little is known about how the charging industry is organized and how government funds can improve the efficiency of this market. We gather novel data about EV charging station utilization in the U.S. to test for the presence of entry complementarities, a form of positive spillovers, across charging locations. We develop a model of charging station demand by drivers to evaluate how policy can improve the quality of EV charging networks. We also test how much firms in the charging industry internalize their positive spillovers on other locations. Our paper provides a micro-foundation for EV charging stations subsidy policies with location targeting or spatial restrictions. | |
