Assessing the economic premium of electric vehicle charging points: a hedonic price analysis in Beijing, China.

Electric vehicle charging points (EVCPs) are the foundation of the EV industry and are conducive to low-carbon transportation development. Research on EVCPs mainly focus on operation profits and layout, while no study assesses their economic premium. Aiming at providing a reference for the installation of EVCPs, this study employs a hedonic price model to evaluate the economic premium of CPs, based on apartment transactions and complex data on CPs in 2015 and 2016 in Beijing. The primary findings indicate the economic premium of CPs is significantly positive in both housing sale and rental markets. However, the impact of CPs on housing prices is heterogeneous in terms of complex floor area ratio and location. Specifically, the premium effect of CPs is more significant in larger complex and complex in the suburb. Following the above conclusions, we provide several policy pathways to promote the construction of CPs and their scientific location layout.
