This policy brief by the Stockholm Environment Institute uses Sweden as a case study to examine equity in electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. It argues that focusing solely on public charging as a metric for success is contradictory, as private charging is the dominant strategy for cost and grid flexibility. The analysis reveals a correlation between higher disposable income and higher private charger density, particularly in urban areas, while car density is higher in regions where charger access remains low. The authors recommend systematic data collection at the postcode level to identify and address structural inequalities in infrastructure deployment.
