With the continuous expansion of the scale of investment in the electric vehicle (EV) market, the EV charging loads with spatiotemporal randomness and uncertainty will seriously affect the planning and operation of the distribution networks. The modeling of the space-time distribution of EV charging load is the research basis to study the impact of EV charging load on the distribution grid. Forever, this paper summarizes the research status of the space-time distribution modeling of electric vehicle charging loads in recent years. Firstly, from the external and internal factors, this paper summarizes and analyzes the factors that affect the temporal and spatial distribution of EV charging loads; Then, from two aspects of data-driven and model-driven, the spatial-temporal distribution modeling methods of EV charging loads are summarized; Finally, the shortcomings of the existing research methods are analyzed, and the future research direction is prospected.#$NLKeywords: EV; influencing factors; temporal and spatial distribution; load modeling; survey
