Abstract:Based on the demand expansion effect of electric vehicle charging facilities investment on electric vehicle demand, a duopoly investment game model between government and private enterprise in the charging facilities market is established, and both Cournot game and Stackelberg game are analyzed. Comparing the results of the two models, we found both the government and the enterprise obtain higher profit in the Cournot game, but the total investment amount of electric vehicle charging facilities is higher in Stackelberg model. Based on the numerical analysis of a certain city’s electric vehicle application real data, demand expansion effect will enlarge the investment amount of the government and the private enterprise. When environmental issue is more important than social wealth, the government should act as the market leader to promote the electric vehicle facility investment.
