The transformation of gas stations into \u201crefueling+charging\u201d integrated gas stations relies on charging pile manufacturers and government, involving coordination issues with them. This paper aims to propose a joint coordination contract based on the principles of cost-sharing and revenue-sharing. The objective is to achieve systemic coordination among integrated gas stations, charging pile manufacturers, and the government, optimizing the planning of the quantity of charging piles and charging prices.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We have constructed an operational system model based on the Stackelberg game between charging pile manufacturers, integrated gas stations, and government. We have analyzed the optimal quantity of charging piles and charging prices under the impact of government subsidy policies in both decentralized and centralized operation scenarios. Additionally, we have proposed a joint coordination contract based on cost-sharing and revenue-sharing to coordinate this tripartite operational system.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Findings<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study reveals that, under simple cooperative contracts, the optimal decision does not yield maximum profits for the operational system due to the \u201cdouble-marginal effect\u201d. However, under the impact of the joint coordination contract, which combines cost-sharing and revenue-sharing as proposed in this paper, gas stations will consider the charging pile manufacturer\u2019s costs and government subsidies when determining the optimal quantity and price. This not only achieves system coordination but also results in Pareto improvement in the benefits of all system members by adjusting contract parameters.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The value of this research lies in its insights into operational strategies for the construction of charging piles for electric vehicles. By analyzing optimal decisions under different contract arrangements, the study provides guidance to relevant stakeholders, enabling the operational system to achieve greater efficiency and coordination and realize more extensive Pareto improvements. Furthermore, it extends the application of coordination contract theory in the context of charging pile construction and operations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/k-11-2023-2309","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,6]],"date-time":"2024-06-06T04:15:00Z","timestamp":1717647300000},"page":"5820-5844","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["The optimal operation decision of gas station considering charging pile installation \u2013 conflict and coordination"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"54","author":[{"given":"Mingze","family":"Jiang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Management, Harbin Institute of Technology , ,","place":["Harbin, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-2770-8041","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Minghui","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Management, Harbin Institute of Technology , ,","place":["Harbin, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jiaxin","family":"Xue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangzhou College of Technology and Business, Guangzhou College of Technology and Business , ,","place":["Guangzhou, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5383-6456","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Wentao","family":"Zhan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Management, Harbin Institute of Technology , ,","place":["Harbin, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuntao","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of International Economics and Trade, University of International Business and Economics , ,","place":["Beijing, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025102701185250400_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.seps.2022.101345","article-title":"A novel spherical fuzzy AHP-VIKOR methodology to determine serving petrol station selection during COVID-19 lockdown: a pilot study for Istanbul","volume":"83","author":"Ayyildiz","year":"2022","journal-title":"Socio-Economic Planning Sciences"},{"issue":"3","key":"2025102701185250400_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"393","DOI":"10.3390\/math10030393","article-title":"Mathematical modeling of the operation of an expander-generator pressure regulator in non-stationary conditions of small gas pressure reduction stations","volume":"10","author":"Belousov","year":"2022","journal-title":"Mathematics"},{"key":"2025102701185250400_ref003","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"19","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tranpol.2019.03.009","article-title":"An early look at plug-in electric vehicle adoption in disadvantaged communities in California","volume":"78","author":"Canepa","year":"2019","journal-title":"Transport Policy"},{"key":"2025102701185250400_ref004","unstructured":"ChinaIRN\n           (2023), \u201c2023 China gas station industry analysis\u201d, available at:\u00a0https:\/\/www.chinairn.com\/scfx\/20230811\/162853309.shtml"},{"key":"2025102701185250400_ref005","unstructured":"Chinese Government Website\n           (2023), \u201cGuiding Opinions on further building a high-quality charging infrastructure system\u201d, available at:\u00a0https:\/\/www.gov.cn\/zhengce\/zhengceku\/202306\/content_6887168.htm"},{"key":"2025102701185250400_ref006","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.enpol.2023.113424","article-title":"Dynamics of the gas retail market under China?
