CT: To properly inform the planning and deployment of charging infrastructure, there are many interdependent and often contradicting aspects that should be considered to quantify the performance of charging pools: Being motivated by the need to innovate the road transport that is based on fossil fuels, from the perspective of governments, policymakers, and municipalities, one of the main goals when developing charging infrastructure is to stimulate wide use of EVs and to invest public resources efficiently and fairly

N: 1. – charging (adj): obtained by the gerund form of the verb charge, “to load, put a burden on or in; fill with something to be retained,” from Old French chargier “to load, burden, weigh down,” from Late Latin carricare “to load a wagon or cart,” from Latin carrus “two-wheeled wagon”.
-pool (n): Old English pol “small body of water; deep, still place in a stream,”. In this context, it means a readily available supply.
2. A charging pool consists of one or multiple recharging stations and the accommodating parking lots. It is defined by: One location/address and GPS coordinates and one charge point operator.
3. Although “charging station” is used as a synonym for “charging pool”, the “charging station” is an appliance that’s either fixed to the wall (wallbox) or self-standing. A “charging pool” contains several “charging stations”, while a “charging station” contains several “charging points”. Each charging point has several connectors and per charging point not more than one connector can be active at a time.
4. A charging station is a safe interface enabling you to connect the EV [electric vehicle] to the electric network so the battery can be recharged. A charging station is also an intelligent piece of equipment that communicates with the electric vehicle (on-board charger) and provides energy when required. Synonyms: electric vehicle charging station, EV charging station, electric vehicle supply equipment, EVSE.
5. Cultural Interrelation: We can mention the book Overcoming Barriers to Deployment of Plug-in Electric Vehicles (2015) by National Research Council, Transportation Research Board, Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences, Board on Energy and Environmental Systems, Committee on Overcoming Barriers to Electric-Vehicle Deployment
