“…The high utilisation of PHEV batteries compared to BEV batteries can be illustrated by the distribution of individual daily driving distances 16 . Figure 3 shows the distribution of all daily VKT extracted from the full sample of the voltstats.net database (1,738 PHEV, thick black line).…”

The actual contribution of plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicles (PHEV and BEV) to greenhouse gas mitigation depends on their real-world usage. Often BEV are seen as superior as they drive only electrically and do not have any direct emissions during driving. However, empirical evidence on which vehicle electrifies more mileage with a given battery capacity is lacking. Here, we present the first systematic overview of empirical findings on actual PHEV and BEV usage for the US and Germany. Contrary to common belief, PHEV with about 60 km of real-world range currently electrify as many annual vehicles kilometres as BEV with a much smaller battery. Accordingly, PHEV recharged from renewable electricity can highly contribute to green house gas mitigation in car transport. Including the higher CO2eq emissions during the production phase of BEV compared to PHEV, PHEV show today higher CO2eq savings then BEVs compared to conventional vehicles. However, for significant CO2eq improvements of PHEV and particularly of BEVs the decarbonisation of the electricity system should go on.

“…First according to existing evidence home location charging is the most important piece of infrastructure in convincing consumers to purchase a PEV and is the most frequently used charging location Dunckley and Tal, 2016;Franke and Krems, 2013;Nicholas and Tal, 2017;Plötz and Funke, 2017). Workplace charging has been found to be the second most influential charging location in convincing consumers to purchase a PEV it is also the second most frequently used charging location (Bjornsson and Karlsson, 2015;Figenbaum and Kolbenstvedt, 2016;Nicholas and Tal, 2014;Skippon and Garwood, 2011). Public charging stations appear to be the least frequently used locations but are still important in encouraging consumers to purchase PEVs (Dong et al, 2014;Morrissey et al, 2016;Neaimeh et al, 2017;Nicholas et al, 2017a;Plötz and Funke, 2017;Tal et al, 2014).…”

“…Home location charging can include private charge points and public charging infrastructure in residential areas. After home charging work or commute location charging is the most frequently used infrastructure according to data from questionnaire surveys with consumers who own PEVs or who have driven them in trials (Bjornsson and Karlsson, 2015;Figenbaum and Kolbenstvedt, 2016;Nicholas and Tal, 2014;Skippon and Garwood, 2011). When BEV owners commute in their vehicle on average 15-25% of charging events occur at work.…”

This is the autho s e sio of a o k that was published in the following source: Hardman, S.; Jenn, A.; Beard, G.; Daina, N.;Figenbaum, E.; Jochem, P. E. P.; Kinnear, N. A. D.; Pontes, J. P.;Refa, N.;Turrentine, T. S.; Witkamp, B. (2018). AbstractThis paper presents a literature review of studies that investigate infrastructure needs to support the market introduction of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs). It focuses on literature relating to consumer preferences for charging infrastructure, and how consumers interact with and use this infrastructure. This includes studies that use questionnaire surveys, interviews, modelling, GPS data from vehicles, and data from electric vehicle charging equipment. These studies indicate that the most important location for PEV charging is at home, followed by work, and then public locations. Studies have found that more effort is needed to ensure consumers have easy access to PEV charging and that charging at home, work, or public locations should not be free of cost. Research indicates that PEV charging will not impact electricity grids on the short term, however charging may need to be managed when the vehicles are deployed in greater numbers. In some areas of study the literature is not sufficiently mature to draw any conclusions from. More research is especially needed to determine how much infrastructure is needed to support the roll out of PEVs. This paper ends with policy implications and suggests avenues of future research.Next, we provide background information on charging modes and levels and then introduce the approach to the literature review. Section 2 then summarises the literature, whilst Section 3 concludes with insights for policymakers and literature gaps.

“…For energy conservation and pollution reduction, electric vehicles have been carried out for decades. [1][2][3][4] One of the challenges of electric vehicles is the charging method of batteries, and researchers have been working on the improvement of the performance and convenience of the charging method for a long time. Meanwhile, the methods of charging are always researched to improve performance and convenience.…”
