Abstract:

Promoting the use of electric vehicles is the main way to achieve the “dual carbon” goal of the automotive industry, but inconvenient charging is the main factor hindering consumers from purchasing electric vehicles. Considering the impact of the number of Charging station on the demand for electric vehicles, and taking the target market share of electric vehicles as a constraint, the charging station builders are divided into two categories - the government and the third party. At the same time, two types of government subsidies - electric vehicle purchase subsidies and charging station construction subsidies are added. Using the Stackelberg game model, the optimal number of charging stations constructed by different charging station construction entities and the price of electric vehicles for vehicle enterprises are given. Then compare the impact of different government subsidies on the number of charging station construction and electric vehicle sales. Finally, based on practical numerical simulations, relevant suggestions for electric vehicle sales, charging station construction, and government subsidies were provided. The research shows that the number of Charging station built by the government and the third party is closely related to the sales target of electric vehicles and consumers' sensitivity to the number of Charging station. In the early stages of electric vehicle sales, the government should simultaneously build charging stations and implement subsidies; With the increase in sales of electric vehicles, the government can stop providing consumer subsidies but continue to participate in the construction and subsidy of charging stations, further withdraw from charging station subsidies, and ultimately completely withdraw from charging station construction.

Key words: adoption targets, the number of the charging stations, charging station subsidies, consumer subsidies, electric vehicles price
