The aim of this study was to identify relevant relations between the adoption of electric vehicles at public charging stations and the characteristics of the neighbourhood through a case study in the Netherlands. The study started with creating such measurements of EV adoption in the transaction data of public chargers in the MRA-Elektrisch region. Subsequently, the relevant variables found in the literature study on the drivers of electric vehicle adoption have been translated into a set of neighbourhood characteristics using open data sources. Based on the identified relationships, a further analysis was conducted in order to develop policy recommendation for the municipality. It is suggested that these municipalities increase the capacity of public charging points in high-populated regions, as both the relative and absolute numbers of residents were positively correlated with the occupancy rate. Furthermore, it is recommended to prioritise the neighbourhoods with high potential and a high potential EV user per charger ratio that is high under current conditions for the placement of additional chargers.
