What are the main concerns/issues for the small- and medium-sized cities in planning and implementation of ELECTRIC bike-sharing & car-sharing stations from both spatial (location of a station) and power source points of view?
You could try to answer this question by analyzing those cities. The Dataset Search of Google provides the location of such stations:

Some concerns that you should consider to achieve your goals are (1) the locations, that would be used for distributing your stations in the city, should be placed at accessible paths (well-connected streets); (2) locations of bike-sharing and car-sharing stations should take into account the infrastructure (they should be close to the electricity sources and easy to be maintained); a good campaign - relied on a questionnaire method to know how they would act and what they need - for preparing the public to adopt this program in their daily life.
