Abstract
Understanding electric vehicle (EV) charging behavior and energy consumption patterns is fundamental to support the transportation electrification trend. We analyzed a dataset of 2,385,173 charging sessions from 2,719 chargers across 158 stations in Beijing, China. First, the charging sessions of alternating-current slow chargers (ACSCs) are mainly affected by parking behavior related to adjacent buildings; conversely, the charging sessions of direct-current fast chargers (DCFCs) cater to urgent charging demands. Second, adjacent building type and public accessibility significantly impact a station’s charging power profile. Public station profiles can be quantified by combining private and independent station profiles. Third, the impact of charger rated power on utilization rate varies by station type. The charger utilization rate increases with its rated power at independent and commercial stations, but decreases at workplace and residential stations. This study reveals the inherent behavioral and energy-use relationship between EVs and buildings, providing guidance for charging infrastructure planning.
期刊介绍:
Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment focuses on original research exploring the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to these impacts, and their implications for transportation system design, planning, and management. The journal comprehensively covers the interaction between transportation and the environment, ranging from local effects on specific geographical areas to global implications such as natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution.
We welcome research papers across all transportation modes, including maritime, air, and land transportation, assessing their environmental impacts broadly. Papers addressing both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered. The journal prioritizes empirical findings and policy responses of regulatory, planning, technical, or fiscal nature. Articles are policy-driven, accessible, and applicable to readers from diverse disciplines, emphasizing relevance and practicality. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions and welcome contributions from economically developing and advanced countries alike, reflecting our international orientation.
