This $150,271 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) supports research at Northeastern University to study the broader social and economic impacts of electric vehicle charging station (EVCS) placement in urban areas. The project integrates computational social science, urban resilience, behavioral science, and complex systems to understand how EVCS deployment can boost the economic resilience of small businesses and promote social equity. The research leverages large-scale datasets and real-world intervention experiments to optimize EVCS placement in a way that meets driver needs while also supporting local community dynamics. The project will develop an open-source, public-facing visualization platform to enable agencies and businesses to evaluate EVCS deployment scenarios, promoting a comprehensive approach to sustainable infrastructure design. No sub-awards are planned under this grant, which has an award date of September 15, 2024 and an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2027.
