Abstract EN
This study investigates the effects of the range of a battery electric vehicle (EV) by using questionnaire data.
The concern about battery depletion changes according to charging station deployment.
Firstly, the methodology for deriving the probabilistic distribution of the daily travel distance is developed, which enables us to analyze people’s tolerance of the risk of battery depletion.
Secondly, the desired range of an EV is modeled.
This model considers the effect of changing charging station deployment and can analyze the variation in the desired range.
Then, the intention of a household to purchase an EV is analyzed by incorporating range-related variables.
The results show that people can live with a risk of battery depletion of around 2% to 5%.
The deployment of charging stations at large retail facilities and/or workplace parking spaces reduces the desired range of an EV.
Finally, the answers to the questionnaire show that the probability of battery depletion on a driving day has little effect on the intention to purchase an EV.
Instead, people tend to evaluate the range by itself or directly compare it with their desired range.
