Abstract

The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) is a crucial step toward a sustainable energy future. However, the successful integration of EVs depends on the development of a robust and efficient charging infrastructure. This paper presents a conceptual analysis of EV charging networks based on the Energy Informatics Framework and Actor-Network Theory. It examines the complex interactions between different actors, including suppliers, consumers, governments and other key stakeholders, and explores the technological and infrastructural components that underpin these networks. The analysis highlights the importance of collaboration, data integration and technological innovation in creating a sustainable and user-centered EV charging ecosystem. Based on this, this work derives concrete policy implications to support cities in planning and implementing EV charging infrastructure. These implications aim to ensure the long-term sustainability and effectiveness of the promotion of electric mobility.
