| Summary: | This study considers the spatial analysis and evaluation layout of electric vehicle charging infrastructures, taking the central urban area of Chongqing as an example. Mathematical model analysis, ArcGIS spatial analysis, field investigation, questionnaire measurement, and hierarchical analysis methods are utilized to discuss the current distribution characteristics and supply–demand matching of the electric vehicle charging infrastructure in this region. The resulting data can provide references for the optimal layout of charging infrastructure. The main conclusions of this study are as follows: (1) The configuration and demand of charging infrastructure in the central urban area of Chongqing have obvious spatial differentiation and show strong centrality. (2) It is a common phenomenon that the charging infrastructure in the central urban area of Chongqing is in short supply, and it is pressing that a new charging infrastructure be built. (3) In the process of construction and operation of charging infrastructure, various factors, such as economy and traffic, should be comprehensively considered; at the same time, incidents of inefficient operation, such as being crowded out by nonelectric vehicles and unmaintained facility failure, should be minimized.
