Abstract

This research paper comprehensively analyzes electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in Canada, the USA, and Africa. Examining technological landscapes, regulatory frameworks, funding mechanisms, and socio-environmental impacts, the study reveals key trends and challenges. The technical overview encompasses Level 1, Level 2, and DC fast charging, focusing on interoperability and advancements. Government grants, public-private partnerships, and international funding drive infrastructure funding, fostering job creation and economic growth. The analysis reveals diverse cultural and behavioral factors influencing EV adoption, emphasizing the need for tailored communication strategies. The future envisions ultra-fast charging, wireless technologies, and smart ecosystems, demanding collaborative solutions to grid capacity and standardization challenges. This research contributes valuable insights for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and researchers, guiding the sustainable development of EV charging infrastructure globally.  
Keywords: Electric Vehicles, Charging Infrastructure, Sustainability, Socioeconomic Impact.
