*The rise of electric vehicles (EVs) has led to a rapid deployment of public charging infrastructures. In France, this deployment involves multiple stakeholders, including local governments (communes, EPCIs), grid operators, mobility operators, and infrastructure providers. In the case of public charging stations, local authorities typically determine placement locations. While one might assume that such decisions are driven by a mix of political and economic incentives, the actual allocation efficiency remains an open question. This preliminary research investigates the extent of local economic misallocation in the placement of public EV charging stations. I leverage a novel dataset of charging sessions, enriched with detailed information on nearby amenities for each station. I estimate the influence of location characteristics on station usage to construct counterfactuals. They allow for a quantification of potential local improvements in utilization, shedding light on the degree of inefficiency in current deployment strategies.**Social justice and well-being have long been studied in economics, sometimes jointly, sometimes separately. Recent developments have renewed the way we conceptualize these two notions. On the one hand, the rise of happiness economics and subjective well-being approaches has led to new definitions and empirical measures of well-being, both at the individual and societal levels. On the other hand, the study of social justice—often framed within social choice theory—has undergone an "empirical turn" through behavioral economics, where experimental methods have been used to explore the role of morality and social preferences in shaping human behavior, beyond the assumption of pure self-interest. Despite rich findings in both fields, the two strands of literature rarely intersect. This presentation proposes to build on the experimental literature on social justice to investigate how perceptions of justice correlate with individual well-being, and how people form judgments and make decisions regarding what they consider to be "just" in social dilemmas.\n\nContact: Philippine Escudié: philippine.escudie[at]univ-amu.frLucie Giorgi: lucie.giorgi[at]univ-amu.frKla Kouadio: kla.kouadio[at]univ-amu.frLola Soubeyrand: lola.soubeyrand[at]univ-amu.fr
