We investigated which demographic groups in Sweden are lagging in battery-electric vehicle (BEV) adoption and whether the deployed public charging infrastructure has contributed to reducing these gaps. Using high-resolution national registry data, we analyzed vehicle-age-adjusted BEV and PHEV ownership patterns across income levels, housing types, and access to charging. We found that low income and living in apartments are the strongest barriers to adoption, and that public charging availability has not significantly increased BEV uptake among apartment residents. Based on these findings, we recommend policies that lower public charging costs, strengthen incentives linked to vehicle use, improve charging access quality for apartment dwellers, and support retention of used BEVs in Sweden.
