Exploring electric vehicle charging patterns: Mixed usage of charging infrastructure

This paper examines the charging behavior of 7,979 plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) owners in California. The study investigates where people charge, be it at home, at work, or at public location, and the level of charging they use including level 1, level 2, or DC fast charging. While plug-in behavior can differ among PEV owners based on their travel patterns, preferences, and access to infrastructure, studies often make generalizations about charging behavior. In this study, the authors explore differences in charging behavior among different types of PEV owners based on their use of charging locations and levels, the authors then identify factors associated with PEV owner’s choice of charging location and charging level. The authors identified socio-demographic (gender and age), vehicle characteristics, commute behavior, and workplace charging availability as significant factors related to the choice of charging location.
