Abstract

The growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) necessitates a well-distributed network of charging stations. However, selecting optimal locations for these stations is a complex issue influenced by geographic, demographic, technical, and economic factors. This study aims to fill the gaps in previous research by providing a comprehensive analysis of factors influencing the selection of EV battery charging stations. This research focuses on integrating geographic, demographic, technical, and infrastructure considerations to inform strategic placement decisions. A quantitative approach was employed, using questionnaires distributed to 300 entrepreneurs in Thailand’s EV charging station sector. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and structural equation modeling (SEM) to evaluate the relationships among the influencing factors. The results reveal that technical and infrastructure factors significantly impact economic and financial considerations, which in turn influence the selection of charging stations. Additionally, geographic and demographic factors play a crucial role in shaping economic outcomes and the strategic placement of these stations. A holistic approach that integrates these diverse factors is essential for the strategic deployment of EV charging infrastructure, which supports increased EV adoption and contributes to environmental sustainability.
