Consumers are the front divers for the implementation of smart charging infrastructure. The demand for EVs and their supporting products and equipment is wholly dependent on consumers’ needs. Hence, the manufacturer, policymakers, and service providers do promotions, provide incentives, and assure consumers’ maturity and reliability. The consumers also draw constraints, such as charging speed, battery life, and cost of replacing batteries, before buying an EV. If the demand for a product by the consumers’ increases, it shows the technology’s acceptance [62, 63].

An appropriate business model with policies benefitting all the stakeholders and fulfilling consumers’ requirements will be needed for the implementation of smart charging [64].
