A latent class mixed logit model is employed to capture behavioral heterogeneity, identifying two driver classes: flexible and proactive drivers and time- and price-constrained drivers. Results show that while both classes value shorter waits and lower prices, the time- and price-constrained drivers are considerably more sensitive to uncertainty and costs, diverging from patterns observed among private EV users. Preferences for ancillary facilities also differ across classes. These findings extend existing knowledge by providing new behavioral evidence on how electric ride-hailing drivers manage trade-offs under operational uncertainty and offering actionable implications for differentiated infrastructure and policy design.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23277,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part D-transport and Environment","volume":"151 ","pages":"Article 105166"},"PeriodicalIF":7.7,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145786105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our analysis reveals an interesting “<em>efficiency improvement dilemma</em>” that although AI-based consolidation system can significantly reduce consolidation waiting time, it lowers the retailer’s incentive to order more, which in turn hurts the shipping company’s profit.
