In the context of urban low-carbon transformation, the layout of new energy vehicle charging piles, as a key infrastructure, has received increasing attention. Existing studies mostly focus on transportation, electric power or management perspectives, but less on the relationship between the layout of charging piles and users' needs from the perspective of urban social structure and humanities. In this paper, we take Shapingba District in Chongqing as an example, and based on the questionnaire data, we use an ordered logistic regression model to analyze the correlation between social attributes such as occupational type of users and their satisfaction with the use of charging piles. The results show that occupational differentiation significantly affects users' acceptance and preference of charging pile layout. Combined with the actual situation of synergistic development of new and old urban areas, the article proposes the strategies of “circle development” and “mixed allocation”, and the new areas should be dominated by large-scale fast-charging parking lots and mobile charging piles to improve the service coverage and convenience, while the old areas are recommended to tap the unused space on the existing infrastructure and use the existing charging piles to improve the service coverage and convenience. Meanwhile, in old districts, it is preferable to excavate unutilized space on the existing infrastructure and adopt compact slow charging replenishment point mode. It is also suggested that the charging pile planning should be formally incorporated into the urban master planning system, so as to realize the synchronous and coordinated development of urban spatial evolution and green transportation infrastructure. In this paper, we start from the socio-spatial occupational structure, and provide a practical path for charging pile siting with humanistic care and planning adaptability.
