EV charging station implementation in urban and non-urban areas: policies, challenges, and opportunities

The rapid demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is increasingly driving the creation of new charging infrastructure for more cars. The year 2023 has seen an unprecedented increase in EVs, also aided by the goal of reducing emissions with clear medium- and short-term targets. This paper proposes an analysis on EV charging station infrastructure in urban and non-urban areas. The policies, challenges and opportunities related to the EV charging stations (EVCSs) will be explored. Also, the integration of EVs with the grid and the new opportunities that are emerging related to charging station will be investigated.
