Exponential technological-based growth in industrialization and urbanization, and the ease of mobility that modern motorization offers have significantly transformed social structures and living standards. As a result, electric vehicles (EVs) have gained widespread popularity as a mode of sustainable transport. The increasing demand for of electric vehicles (EVs) has reduced the some of the environmental issues and urban space requirements for parking and road usage. The current body of EV literature is replete with different optimization and empirical approaches pertaining to the design and analysis of the EV ecosystem; however, probing the EV ecosystem from a management perspective has not been analyzed. To address this gap, this paper develops a systems-based framework to offer rigorous design and analysis of the EV ecosystem, with a focus on charging station location problems. The study framework includes: (1) examination of the EV charging station location problem through the lens of a systems perspective; (2) a systems view of EV ecosystem structure; and (3) development of a reference model for EV charging stations by adopting the viable system model. The paper concludes with the methodological implications and utility of the reference model to offer managerial insights for practitioners and stakeholders.

基于可行系统模型方法的电动汽车基础设施架构设计

工业化和城市化中基于技术的指数级增长，以及现代机动化所带来的机动性的显着改变，极大地改变了社会结构和生活水平。结果，作为可持续运输的一种方式，电动汽车（EV）已获得广泛的普及。对电动汽车（EV）的需求不断增加，已经减少了一些环境问题以及停车和道路使用的城市空间需求。当前的电动汽车文献充斥着与电动汽车生态系统的设计和分析有关的不同优化和经验方法。但是，尚未从管理的角度探讨电动汽车生态系统。为了解决这一差距，本文开发了一个基于系统的框架，以提供对EV生态系统的严格设计和分析，重点放在充电站位置问题上。研究框架包括：（1）从系统角度考察电动汽车充电站的位置问题；（2）电动汽车生态系统结构的系统视图；（3）通过采用可行的系统模型，为电动汽车充电站开发参考模型。本文以参考模型的方法学意义和实用性作为结论，为从业者和利益相关者提供管理见解。
