Dominant charging location choice of commuters and non-commuters: a big data approach

This paper is focused on electric vehicle (EV) users’ dominant charging locations, where they get their EVs recharged more frequently. We particularly compared the dominant charging location choice of commuters and non-commuters using a unique one-month trajectory dataset collected from 76,774 actual private EVs in Beijing in January 2018. Specifically, we first grouped EV users for both commuters and non-commuters according to their dominant charging locations and then characterized and compared their charging patterns. Further, we associated the dominant charging location choice of EV users with their characteristics using a mixed logistic regression model. The results suggested that over 50
