| Abstract: The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) has emerged as a key strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving energy efficiency, and promoting sustainable transportation systems. Despite the increasing availability of EV models and supportive government policies, the widespread adoption of electric vehicles remains constrained by concerns related to charging infrastructure. Among these concerns, charging station accessibility has been identified as a critical factor influencing consumer confidence, vehicle usage patterns, and adoption intentions. This study investigates the role of charging station accessibility in shaping electric vehicle adoption among EV users. Specifically, the research examines how the availability, proximity, convenience, reliability, and ease of access to charging facilities affect users’ perceptions and their willingness to adopt and continue using electric vehicles. |
