Supplementary data for article "<b>Electric vehicle charging infrastructure is more accessible but less equitable than petrol stations</b>"

Here we show that public charging stations provide shorter average travel distances for most people than petrol stations, indicating improved overall accessibility. However, this advantage is not shared equally, with underserved populations experiencing poorer access.

Public charging stations also display greater spatial inequality than petrol stations, reflecting their concentration in densely populated urban areas. Analysis further reveals that the socioeconomic and infrastructure factors associated with charging station inequality vary substantially across cities. These findings suggest that although the expansion of charging infrastructure has improved average access, its urban-focused and partly market-driven development may reinforce geographic disparities.
