英文摘要：
The diffusion of electric vehicles (EVs) is studied in a two-sided market framework consisting of EVs on the one side and EV charging stations (EVCSs) on the other. A sequential game is introduced as a model for the interactions between an EVCS investor and EV consumers. A consumer chooses to purchase an EV or a conventional gasoline alternative based on the upfront costs of purchase, the future operating costs and the availability of charging stations. The investor, on the other hand, maximizes his profit by deciding whether to build charging facilities at a set of potential EVCS sites or to defer his investments. The solution of the sequential game characterizes the EV-EVCS market equilibrium. The market solution is compared with that of a social planner who invests in EVCSs with the goal of maximizing the social welfare. It is shown that the market solution underinvests EVCSs, leading to slower EV diffusion. The effects of subsidies for EV purchase and EVCSs are also considered.

中文摘要：
电动汽车（EV）的扩散是在一个双边市场框架中进行研究的，该框架由一侧的EV和另一侧的EV充电站（EVCs）组成。引入序贯博弈作为电动汽车公司投资者和电动汽车消费者之间互动的模型。消费者根据购买的前期成本、未来运营成本和充电站的可用性选择购买电动汽车或传统汽油替代品。另一方面，投资者通过决定是在一组潜在的电动汽车充电站建设充电设施，还是推迟投资来实现利润最大化。序贯博弈的解表征了电动汽车和电动汽车公司的市场均衡。将市场解决方案与以社会福利最大化为目标投资EVCSs的社会规划者进行比较。结果表明，市场解决方案对EVCSs投资不足，导致EV扩散速度减慢。还考虑了电动汽车购买补贴和电动汽车服务补贴的影响。
