Construction of Database on Real World Uses of Electric Vehicles - A French Case

Abstract

Electric vehicle (EV) does not offer the same advantages and disadvantages than ICE car. User behavior of EV is certainly influenced by the specificity of their vehicle as: autonomy, significant recharge time, as well as the recovery of braking energy. As a result, profiles uses of EV may be different from those already known for ICE equivalent cars. This paper proposes a characterization method and an analysis of real uses observed with electric vehicles.
