Topics for: Causal spillover effects of electric vehicle charging station placement on local businesses: a staggered adoption study

Focus on the methodology of measuring the economic benefit using a "staggered adoption study." Why is it important to use sophisticated data analysis to prove that the sales increase is caused by the charger (and not just general economic growth)? How can this evidence guide future infrastructure investment?

Explore the strategic decisions behind charging station placement. Which locations create the maximum positive impact for surrounding businesses, and which locations fail to generate a "spillover" effect? Discuss whether factors like walkability or type of business matter most.

Discuss the causal spillover effects of EV charging stations on nearby local businesses (e.g., cafes, shops, restaurants). Does the presence of a charging station reliably bring in new customers who spend money while they wait for their vehicle to charge? Share data or personal observations.
