A study analyzes how EV drivers adapt their charging behavior to battery size and charging capabilities, using a large database of 6+ million charging sessions.
The study finds that technological factors such as battery capacity and charging speed determine charging behavior, and that drivers adapt their behavior to the capabilities of their vehicle.
The research concludes that understanding how charging behavior adapts to technological developments is crucial for planning charging infrastructure.
Keywords: EVSE, Level 2, Battery, Charging speed, Policy.
Introduction: the sales of EVs are expected to rise, and policy makers need to optimize charging infrastructure deployment.
Previous studies have used charging data from early adopters, but this approach is static and does not account for changing technology.
The study uses two datasets to compare charging behavior of different vehicle types and investigates the reciprocal relationship between vehicle capabilities and charging choices.
Literature overview: previous work has compared charging behavior between different vehicle types, but a systematic analysis of how technological factors impact charging behavior is missing.
The study aims to fill this gap by evaluating how vehicle capabilities influence charging behavior, including frequency of charging, unique charging stations used, and the ratio of home, workplace, public, and fast charging.
